Answer

We know that,

Triangles on the same base and between same parallel lines are equal in area.

Hence,

⇒ area of △ABC = area of △ABD …….. (1)

⇒ area of △ACD = area of △BCD

From figure and eqn. (1),

area of (△AOB + △OAD) = area of (△AOB + △OBC)

⇒ area of △OAD = area of △OBC.

Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
