Let M be a point in interior of ΔABC. Three lines are drawn through M, parallel to triangle′s sides, thereby producing three trapezoids. Suppose a diagonal is drawn in each trapezoid in such a way that the diagonals have no common endpoints. These three diagonals divide ABC into seven parts, four of them being triangles. Prove that the area of one of the four triangles equals the sum of the areas of the other three.

Through the vertices of the smaller base AB of the trapezoid ABCD two parallel lines are drawn, intersecting the segment CD. These lines and the trapezoid′s diagonals divide it into seven triangles and a pentagon. Show that the area of the pentagon equals the sum of the areas of the three triangles that share a common side with the trapezoid.

A distance of 200 km is to be covered by car in less than 10 hours. Yash does it in two parts. He first drives for 150 km at an average speed of 36 km/hr, without stopping. After taking rest for 30 minutes, he starts again and covers the remaining distance non-stop. His average for the entire journey (including the period of rest) exceeds that for the second part by 5 km/hr. Find the speed at which he covers the second part.
