Solution

The correct option is C equal in areas
Area of triangle whose vertices are $(x_{1}, y_{1}), (x_{2}, y_{2}), (x_{3}, y_{3})$ is
$= ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \frac{1}{2} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} x_{1} & y_{1} & 1 x_{2} & y_{2} & 1 x_{3} & y_{3} & 1 \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣$
And are of triangle whose vertices are $(a_{1}, b_{1}), (a_{2}, b_{2}), (a_{3}, b_{3})$ is
$= \frac{1}{2} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} a_{1} & b_{1} & 1 a_{2} & b_{2} & 1 a_{3} & b_{3} & 1 \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣$
As $∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} x_{1} & y_{1} & 1 x_{2} & y_{2} & 1 x_{3} & y_{3} & 1 \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ = ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} 1 & 1 & 1 b_{1} & b_{2} & b_{3} a_{1} & a_{2} & a_{3} \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣$
$\Rightarrow ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} x_{1} & y_{1} & 1 x_{2} & y_{2} & 1 x_{3} & y_{3} & 1 \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ = ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} 1 & 1 & 1 b_{1} & b_{2} & b_{3} a_{1} & a_{2} & a_{3} \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣$
$\Rightarrow ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} x_{1} & y_{1} & 1 x_{2} & y_{2} & 1 x_{3} & y_{3} & 1 \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ = ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} a_{1} & b_{1} & 1 a_{2} & b_{2} & 1 a_{3} & b_{3} & 1 \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣$
$\Rightarrow$ both triangle have equal area
