Solution

In the given figure, let’s join Y to O, Z to N and X to M.

Consider DMNY, since MX is a median, area ofD MXN = area of DMXY.

But, area of DMXY = area of DXZY (XY is a median). Thus area of DMXN=area of DXZY

This is continued for all the smaller triangles formed, hence DMNO = 7D XZY.

Thus area of DMNO = 70.
