Solution

The correct option is A True
$Concider Δ A O B, Δ A O C and Δ B O C . A B = B C = A C (Sides of equilateral triangle) A O = B O = C O (Radii of circumcircle) ∴ Δ A O B ≅ Δ B O C ≅ Δ C O B (SSS congruence) . ∴ Area of Δ A O B = Area of Δ B O C = Area of Δ A O C . But Area of Δ A O B + Area of Δ B O C + Area of Δ A O C = Area of Δ A B C . ∴ Area of Δ B O C = \frac{1}{3} Area of Δ A B C$
$Hence, the given statement is true.$
