Explanation:

A regular hexagon comprises six equilateral triangles.
∴ Area of hexagon = 6 × area of equilateral triangle = area of six equilateral triangles

P, R and T are alternate vertices of the hexagon. The triangle formed by joining them splits each equilateral triangle into half. Six half-equilateral triangles is equivalent to three equivalent triangles.

∴ Area of triangle PRT = area of three equilateral triangles.

∴ Required ratio = (area of three equilateral triangles) / (area of six equilateral triangles) = 0.5

Hence, option (b).
