In parallelogram PQRS, QR is produced to M such that |QR| = |RM|. What fraction of the area of PQMS is the area of PRMS?
A
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
B
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
C
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
D
\(\frac{3}{4}\)
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
There are 3 triangles: \(\bigtriangleup\)MRS, \(\bigtriangleup\) and \(\bigtriangleup\) PRQ

Area PRMS has 2 triangles: \(\bigtriangleup\) MRS and \(\bigtriangleup\) RSP
