Solution

The correct option is A 1:1
Triangles ABD and BCD have equal bases, AB and CD.

Also, since the two triangles are between the same two parallel lines, AB and CD, their heights are equal.

Two equal triangles with equal bases and equal heights have equal areas.

Hence, area of Δ ABD : area of Δ BCD
= 1:1
