Find the area of the triangle with vertices $(a, b)$,$(x_1, y_1)$,and $(x_2, y_2)$,where $a, x_1, x_2$ are in $G.P.$ with common ratio $r$,and $b, y_1, y_2$ are in $G.P.$ with common ratio $s$.

  • A
    $ab (r - 1) (s - 1) (s - r)$
  • B
    $ab (r + 1) (s + 1) (r - s)$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} ab (r - 1) (s - 1) (s - r)$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2} ab (r + 1) (s + 1) (s - r)$
