I have this statement:
My development was:
The $triangleBPC$ have an area of $fracah2$, where $h =$ Height
The $triangleDPA$ have an area of $fracat2$, where $t = $ Height
The quadrilateral $ABCD$ have an area of $ak$, where $k =$ Height
So, area of $triangleBPC + triangleDPA = fraca2(h+t)$
And the reason is $fracfraca(h+t)2ak$
This is only taking into account condition 1, but I could not achieve more.
The correct answer must be $D)$, but i cant understand how is it possible.
Then, ÿHow can I get to the correct answer, and why?

The quadrilateral $ABCD$ have an area of $ak$, where $k =$ Height
In the case of a parallelogram, the height is the distance between $,BC,$ and $,DA,$ so $,k=h+t,$.
And the reason is $;displaystylefrac;;fraca(h+t)2;;ak$
You must mean the ratio (not reason). Yes, which (again, for a parallelogram) simplifies to $,dfrac12,$.
But $AC$ isn't diagonal

@Mattiu You are right, and the drawing is misleading. Answer corrected.

@Mattiu Because $h$ and $t$ are altitudes which are drawn perpendicular to $BC$ and $DA$ respectively. Since $BC || DA$ in a parallelogram, it follows that the altitudes are also parallel and, given that they have the common point $P$, they both lie on the same line. That line is perpendicular to $BC$ and $DA$ so the segment between the intercepts on $BC$ and $DA$ is precisely the height of the parallelogram i.e. $k$.

Well, and with the information of i) can be solved, so ii) implies the i) , so each one by itself. Thanks!

An another answer can be: If you draw a parallel line that contains the point $P$, now you have two parallelogram with area $alpha + beta$, so the triangles, $triangleAPD, triangleBPC$ have a $(alpha)/2$ and $(beta)/2$ area, respectively, so the total area of triangles is $(alpha + beta)/2$

You found this expression:
$$fracleft(fraca(h+t)2right)ak.$$
You can convert this into a simpler expression that has just one horizontal bar
(a single fraction with a numerator and a denominator).
You should be able to simplify it further by cancellation.
To get a definite fraction of the area, you must also relate
$h + t$ to $k.$
Think about how the height of a triangle or parallelogram
(relative to a base $AD$ or $BC$) is measured,
and what that says about the relationship among $h,$ $t,$ and $k.$
To see this better, you may (for sake of argument)
assume either of the statements i) or ii);
then try drawing
the height of triangle $triangle ADP$ on the base $AD,$
the height of triangle $triangle BCP$ on the base $BC,$
and the height of parallelogram $ABCD$ between the bases $AD$ and $BC.$
Edited, the correct answer must be D
