The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will evaluate each statement one by one and determine whether it is true (T) or false (F).
### Step-by-step Solution:
1. **Statement (a)**: "Two parallelograms on the same base and between the same parallel lines are of unequal areas."
- **Analysis**: If two parallelograms share the same base and are between the same parallel lines, they must have the same height. The area of a parallelogram is calculated using the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
\]
Since both parallelograms have the same base and height, their areas will be equal.
- **Conclusion**: This statement is **False (F)**.
2. **Statement (b)**: "The ratio of area of rectangle and a triangle having the same base and between the same parallel lines is 2:1."
- **Analysis**: The area of a rectangle is given by:
\[
\text{Area}_{\text{rectangle}} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
\]
The area of a triangle with the same base and height is:
\[
\text{Area}_{\text{triangle}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
\]
Therefore, the ratio of the area of the rectangle to the area of the triangle is:
\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Area}_{\text{rectangle}}}{\text{Area}_{\text{triangle}}} = \frac{\text{Base} \times \text{Height}}{\frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height}} = 2:1
\]
- **Conclusion**: This statement is **True (T)**.
3. **Statement (c)**: "The area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and the corresponding altitude."
- **Analysis**: The area of a parallelogram is indeed calculated using the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
\]
where the height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side (altitude).
- **Conclusion**: This statement is **True (T)**.
### Final Answers:
- (a) F
- (b) T
- (c) T
To solve the question, we will evaluate each statement one by one and determine whether it is true (T) or false (F).
