# ABCD is a plate in the shape of a parallelogram. EF is the line parallel to DA and passing through the point of intersection O of the diagonals AC and BD. Further, E lies on DC and F lies on AB. The triangular portion DOE is cut out from the plate ABCD. What is the ratio of area of remaining portion of the plate to the whole?

## Solution: If we suppose the complete area of the parallelogram is 8 units.

Then, Diagonal BD will divide it in 2 equal parts:

So, Area ABD = Area BCD = 4 units

Further CO will divide triangle BCD in 2 equal parts:

So, Area DOC = 4/2 = 2 units
