Question

ABCD is a square. O is the point of intersection of the diagonals of the square. Given that RS= $\frac{1}{4}$ BC and QC= $\frac{1}{4}$ DC. Find ratios of areas of Shaded region and unshaded region ?

• A. 1:8
• B. 2:7
• C. 1:6
• D. 1:7

Answer 1

The correct option is D 1:7

Option (d)
We can graphically divide the square into 16 equal parts as follows

The shaded region forms 2 out of the 16 parts. Hence, ratio of areas = 2:14 = 1:7
