  2. Triangle ABP and parallelogram ABCD lie on the same base AB and between the same parallels, AB ∥ CD
    Hence, ar (APB) = (1/2) ar (ABCD) ….(1)
    [∵ If a parallelogram and a triangle are on the same base and between the same parallels, than area of the triangle is half the area of the parallelogram.]
    Similarly,
    Triangle BQC and Parallelogram ABCD lie on the same base AB and between same parallels, AD ∥ BC.
    Hence, ar(BQC = (1/2)ar(ABCD) …(2)
    From the equation (1) and (2), ar (APB) = ar(BQC).
