P is a point inside the 
. Three straight lines parallel to AB, BC and AC are drawn which divides the triangle into six regions. If the area of three triangles formed in these regions are 9,16 and 25 square units, then the area (in sq. units) of 
is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
144
ABC , 
TUP, 
PDE , 
SPR all are similar
ratio of areas= (ratioof sides) 2
Let, PT = 
= AS
Hence, area ( 
ABC) = 16ar ( 
PDE) g 144 sq. units
