It is a very easy question if you know the property that the median of a triangle divides the triangle into 2 equal halves.
As Line TX is the median, triangle PTQ have two equal area triangles: PXT and QXT.
Similarly, triangle PRT is divided into two equal are triangles: PTY and TRY.
In this way we get area of full triangle, PQR = 1/2 * PXTY
We know area of PQR = 1/2*base*height = 1/2*6*8= 24.
so PXTY = 1/2*24=12
