Please don't post problems (by starting a topic) in the "Higher Secondary: Solved" forum. This forum is only for showcasing the problems for the convenience of the users. You can post the problems in the main Divisional Math Olympiad forum. Later we shall move that topic with proper formatting, and post in the resource section.

This is a prob from Dhk div olympiad 2010....
As shown in the figure, triangle ABC is divided
into six smaller triangles by lines drawn from the
vertices through a common interior point. The
areas of four of these triangles are as indicated.
Find the area of triangle ABC.

Re: Find the area??!!
my ans is 315.
@labib bhai ,i know ceva's thm.
i used the thm and some proportions to make a quadratic equation ::mrgreen::

Re: Find the area??!!
I don't know how you expect to solve it using "only" Ceva's theorem. Moreover, I'd like to encourage you not to try finding "automatic solution", because if you do this now, and take too many shortcuts, you'll find soon that hard problems can not be solved by shortcuts. You'll need your own theorem.
Here the best way is to work with areas and ratios. Use the simple idea that when two triangles have same height their areas are proportional to their bases.

@moon vai,i used ceva and the law u showed 2 make a quadratic eq, that's y i meant"some propoetions".
will u consider that a shortcut??????????????
