If a triangle and a square are on the same base and between the same parallels, What is the ratio of their areas in order?

A)  1 : 3                           

B)  1 : 2               

C)    3 : 1               

D)    1 : 4          

Correct Answer: B

Solution :

\[ar(\Delta \Alpha \Epsilon \Beta )=\frac{1}{2}(ABCD)\] [Area of triangle is half the area of square if they are on the same base and between the same parallels.] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{ar(\Delta \Alpha EB)}{ar(ABCD)}=\frac{1}{2}\]
