Solution

The correct option is C 48 cm2
Given, Ar (ABCL) = 72 cm2 and L is mid point of CD. So, CL = LD

Ar (ABCL) = 72 cm2
Ar (ABC) + Ar (ACL) = 72 cm2
Median divides triangle into two equal halves
Ar (ACL) = Ar (ALD) = 12× Ar (ADC)
Ar (ABC) + 12× Ar (ADC) = 72 cm2
Diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two triangles of equal areas.
Ar (ABC) = Ar (ADC)
Ar (ADC) + 12× Ar (ADC) = 72 cm2
32× Ar (ADC) = 72 cm2
Ar (ADC) = 48 cm2
