Solution


It can be observed that ΔBQC and parallelogram ABCD lie on the same base BC and these are between the same parallel lines AD and BC.
Area(ΔBQC)=12Area(ABCD)...(1)
Similarly, ΔAPB and parallelogram ABCD lie on the same base AB and between the same parallel lines AB and DC.
Area(ΔAPB)=12Area(ABCD)...(2)
From equation (1) and (2), we obtain;
Area(ΔBQC)=Area(ΔAPB)
