    ABCD is a rectangle having length 30 cm and breadth 25 cm. P, Q, R and S are midpoints of AB, BC, CD and AD respectively. Find the area of the shaded region of the figure,   

    A)          \[375\,c{{m}^{2}}\]                       

    B)  \[370\,c{{m}^{2}}\]           

    C)              \[475\,c{{m}^{2}}\]           

    D)         \[450\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

            Area of rectangle \[ABCD=AB\times BC\] \[=30\times 25\] Now, \[DS=\frac{AD}{2}=\frac{25}{2}=12.5\,cm\] \[DR=\frac{DC}{2}=\frac{30}{2}=15\,cm\] \[\therefore \] Area of \[\Delta DSR\] Area of \[\Delta RCQ\] Area of \[\Delta QBP\]= Area of  \[\Delta PAS=\frac{1}{2}\times DS\times DR\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 12.5\times 15=93.75\,c{{m}^{2}}\] So, area of shaded region             \[=750-4\times 93.75=375\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]
