We have, 
ABCD is a quadrilateral and diagonals AC and BD intersect at O such that ar(\DeltaAOD) = ar (\DeltaBOC) ...........(i)

Now, add ar (\DeltaBOA) on both sides, we get

ar(\DeltaAOD) + ar (\DeltaBOA)  = ar (\DeltaBOA) + ar (\DeltaBOC)
ar (\DeltaABD) = ar (\DeltaABC)
Since the \DeltaABC and \DeltaABD lie on the same base AB and have an equal area.
Therefore, AB || CD

Hence ABCD is a trapezium.
