Solution
The correct option is C 98 They both have common base BC. Note: They donot lie between the same parallel lines The two paralleograms have the same height. Area of ||gm ABCD = BC x h = 98 cm2 Area of ||gm EBCF = BC x h Implies, Area of ||gm EBCF = 98 cm2
Just because their heights are the same and have a common base the area of two parallelograms are equal.
