Which of the following figures lie on the same base and between the same parallels. In such a case, write the common base and the two parallels.

Explanation

Solution

In the solution we will use the concept of same base and same parallels which states that when two figures have a similar side which is base and lines are parallel opposite to common base.

Complete step-by-step solution
In figure (i), the ΔPDC\Delta PDC and trapezium ABCDABCD both are lying on the similar base DCDC and among the same parallel lines which are DCDC and ABAB.
Therefore, both the figures lie on the same base and between the same parallels line.

In figure (ii), the trapezium SMNRSMNR and parallelogram PQRSPQRS both are lying on the same base SRSR but not between the same parallel lines.
Therefore, both the figures lie on the same base but not between the same parallels line.

In figure (iii), the ΔRTQ\Delta RTQ and parallelogram PQRSPQRS both are lying on the same base QRQR and between the same parallel lines QRQR and PSPS.
Therefore, both the figures lie on the same base and between the same parallels line.

In figure (iv), the ΔPQR\Delta PQR and parallelogram ABCDABCD both are not lying on the same base but between the same parallel lines BCBC and ADAD.
Therefore, both the figures are not lying on the same base.

In figure (v), the trapezium APCDAPCD and quadrilateral ABQDABQD both are lying on the same base ADAD and between the same parallel lines ADAD and BQBQ.
Therefore, both the figures lie on the same base and between the same parallels line.

In figure (vi), the parallelogram ABCDABCD and parallelogram PQRSPQRS both are not lying on the same base SRSR and don’t lie among the same parallel lines.
Therefore, both figures don’t lie on the same base.

Note: In such types of questions, make sure to use the same base and same parallel concept in any geometric figures i.e “when two figures have a similar side which is base and lines are parallel opposite to common base”.
