Since, the given Parallelogram is not a Rectangle - it's area would be less than it!

Col. A: \(Area < (40)(50)\)
Col. B: \(2000\)

Hence, option A

Area of parallelogram = base * height

It is not the rectangle hence height will no be same as BC. It will be less than BC (<40)

Qt A

AB * height = 50 * (<40) = the value will be less than 2000

Qt B > Qt A

Answer B
