I want to share a simple solution WHICH DOES NOT INVOLVE MAKING ANY SKETCH/DIAGRAM, but a tiny little imagination.
The shaded area is ‘less than triangle ADC’ therefore less than ½ of area of square.
Imagine diagonal line joining Point D and B. Let us say the point of intersection of two diagonals is O.
Now, the shaded area is ‘more than triangle DOC’ therefore more than ¼ of area of square.
Out of 5 options, how many options have value between ½ and ¼ ? Just 1/3.
