A)The quantity in Column A is greater.
B)The quantity in Column B is greater.
C)The two quantities are equal.
D)The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
Here,
As the shaded \(\triangle\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\) of the \(\triangle\) ABC
then the sides of the shaded \(\triangle\) to the \(\triangle\) ABC are also distributed in the ratio of 1:3
Therefore
\(\frac{1}{3} BC\) = \(BS\)
QTY A = QTY B
Option C
Please mention the source and the Official Answer
