Question 65
In a square PQRS, A and B are two points on PS and SR such that PA =2AS, and RB = 2BS If PQ = 6, the area of the triangle ABQ is (in sq. cm)
Solution
PQ = QR = RS = SP = 6 cm
PA = 2AS and PA + AS = 6cm
=> PA = 4 cm and AS = 2 cm
Similarly, RB = 2BS and RB + BS = 6 cm
=> RB = 4 cm and BS = 2cm
Area of △ ABQ = area of PQRS - area of △APQ - area of △RBQ - area of △ASB
= (36 - 12 - 12 - 2) sq. cm
= 10 sq. cm
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
