The correct answer is: 1

Let the position vector of P is OQ is q and R is r.

Now, position vector of A is

2q+r3

Position vector of B is 2r3.

Position vector of C is q3.

AB=r-2q3

AC=-r-q3

So,

AB×AC=13r-2q×-r-q

AB×AC=13-r×q+2q×r

AB×AC=q×r

Area of PQR is =12q×r

Area of ABC is 12AB×AC

Area of ABC=12q×r

Therefore,

Area PQRAreaABC=1
