Let PLO be perpendicular drawn from P to line QR meeting line QR at O and line MN at L.
If MNQR is a trapezium -> MN & QR are parallel
Since triangles PMN & PQR are similar triangles
MN:QR = PL:PO = 2:5
Ratio of area of triangle PMN to the area of triangle PQR = MN * PL : QR : PO = 2^2 : 5^2 = 4:25
Since area of trapezium MNQR = Area of triangle PQR - Area of triangle PMN
Ratio of the area of triangle PMN to the area of trapezium MNQR = 4:(25-4) = 4: 21

If MNQR is a trapezium, then MN||QR which means PMN and PQR are similar triangles
By property, if the corresponding sides of two similar triangles are in the ratio \(a:b\), then their areas are in the ratio \(a^2:b^2\)
So the areas of PMN and PQR are in the ratio 4:25 and therefore the area of MNQR and PQR must be in the ratio 21:25
Therefore PMN and MNQR have their areas in the ratio 4:21
Answer is (B)
