We know that, median divides the triangle into two triangles of equal area,
PC is the median of ABC.
Ar (ΔBPC) = ar (ΔAPC) ……….(i)
RC is the median of APC.
Ar (ΔARC) = ½ ar (ΔAPC) ……….(ii)
PQ is the median of BPC.
Ar (ΔPQC) = ½ ar (ΔBPC) ……….(iii)
From eq. (i) and (iii), we get,
ar (ΔPQC) = ½ ar (ΔAPC) ……….(iv)
From eq. (ii) and (iv), we get,
ar (ΔPQC) = ar (ΔARC) ……….(v)
P and Q are the mid-points of AB and BC respectively [given]
PQ||AC
and, PA = ½ AC
Since, triangles between same parallel are equal in area, we get,
ar (ΔAPQ) = ar (ΔPQC) ……….(vi)
From eq. (v) and (vi), we obtain,
ar (ΔAPQ) = ar (ΔARC) ……….(vii)
R is the mid-point of AP.
, RQ is the median of APQ.
Ar (ΔPRQ) = ½ ar (ΔAPQ) ……….(viii)
From (vii) and (viii), we get,
ar (ΔPRQ) = ½ ar (ΔARC)
Hence Proved.
