Solution

The correct option is C Area of DPQ = 16 Area of (parallelogram ABCD)

We know that triangles between same parallels and on the same base have half the area of the parallelogram.
So, Area of DQC=12 (area of parallelogram ABCD )
Let 'h' be the height between the parallel lines.
PQ=13AB (P and Q trisects AB)
Hence, Area of DPQ=12×13×AB×h
Area of DPQ=16(area of parallelogram ABCD)
