In the above question I made the figure like that and did the question like this but I am getting answer as -1 whereas the answer is 1 . plz explain me briefly

Solution:let A0,-1,B2,1,C0,3 be the vertices of agiven abc.let P,Q,R be the midpoints of linesegment AB,BC,CA.Then the coordinates of P,Q,R are given asP0+22,-1+12,Q2+02,1+32,R0+02,3-12P1,0,Q1,2,R0,1x1=1,y1=0,x2=1,y2=2,x3=0,y3=1Area ofPQR=12x1y2-y3+x2y3-y1+x3y1-y2                    =1212-1+11-0+00-2                     =121+1=12×2=1sq unit.Area of givenABC=12x1y2-y3+x2y3-y1+x3y1-y2                                =1201-3+23+1+0-1-1                                =128=4sq unit.Ratio in the both ABC andPQR=4:1

The points PQR plotted are taken incorrectly. So, the answer came was wrong by you.
