Q40

If a parallelogram with area P, a rectangle with area R and a triangle with area T are all constructed on the same base and all have the same altitude, then which of the following statements is false ?

A.
P = R
B.
P + T = 2R
Answer
C.
P = 2T
D.
T = R

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Let each have base = b and height = h
Then,
P = b × h, R = b × h, T = × b × h
So, P = R, P = 2T and T = R, are all correct statements.
∴ Option B is false
