Given,
ABCD is a ||gm and AD = CQ. Join AC.
Since \DeltaDQC and \Delta ACD lie on the same base QC and between same parallels AD and QC.
Therefore, ar(\DeltaDQC) = ar(\DeltaACD).......(i)

Subtracting ar(\DeltaPQC) from both sides in eq (i),  we get
ar(\DeltaDPQ) = ar(\DeltaPAC).............(i)

Since \DeltaPAC and \DeltaPBC are on the same base PC and between same parallel PC and AB.
Therefore, ar(\DeltaPAC) = ar(\DeltaPBC)..............(iii)

From equation (ii) and eq (ii), we get

\small ar (BPC) = ar (DPQ)

Hence proved
