      Question

      In triangle ABC, DE is parallel to BC, where D lies on

      AB and E lies on AC. If AD:AB = 3:5 and the area of triangle ABC is 200 sq cm, then the area of trapezium DBCE is:
      A 100 sq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 147 sq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 128 sq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 132 sq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Since DE || BC, triangle ADE is similar to triangle ABC. So, Area of triangle ADE / Area of triangle ABC = (AD/AB)^2 = (3/5)^2 = 9/25 Area of triangle ADE = 200 x 9/25 = 72 sq cm Area of trapezium DBCE = 200 - 72 = 128 sq cm
