Answer
In third figure,
Join BD and AC.
Triangle ABC and triangle ABD. They both share the same base AB. Crucially, the vertices C and D both lie on the same line, and that line is parallel to the base AB.
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.

In the figure, ABCD is a trapezium with parallel sides AB = x and CD = y. E and F are mid-points of the non-parallel sides AD and BC respectively. The ratio of ar (ABFE) and ar (EFCD) is :
x : y
(3x + y) : (x + 3y)
(x + 3y) : (3x + y)
(2x + y) : (3x + y)
In the figure, ABCD is a parallelogram in which BC is produced to E such that CE = BC. AE intersects CD at F. If area of ΔDFB is 3 cm2, then area of the parallelogram ABCD is :
