(i) Parallelogram PQRS and ABRS are on the same base RS and between the same parallels RS and PB.
Therefore,  \small ar(PQRS)=ar(ABRS)............(i)
Hence proved

(ii) \DeltaAXS and ||gm ABRS are on the same base AS and between same parallels AS and RB.
Therefore, ar (\DeltaAXS) = 1/2 . ar(||gm ABRS)............(ii)

Now, from equation (i) and equation (ii), we get

\small ar(AXS)=\frac{1}{2}ar(PQRS)

Hence proved.
