If 1, 2, 3 and 4 represent the areas of the four triangles of a parallelogram with different shades, then 1=2 ≠ 3=4
False
Consider the figure below:
In △DAO and △OCB
∠DAO=∠OCB(Alternate angles)
∠ADO=∠CBO(Alternate angles)
AD=CB \text{(Opposite sides of parallelogram)}
Hence, ΔADO≅ΔCBO(AAS congruence)
Similarly it can be proved that
Area(Δ DOC)=Area(Δ (BOA) \)
therefore 1 = 3 and 2= 4.
Hence the given statement is false.
