    In \[\Delta ABC,\] \[\left. DE \right\|BC.\] If \[DE=4cm,\] \[BC=8cm\]and area of \[\Delta ADE=25c{{m}^{2}},\]then the area of \[\Delta ABC\]is:

    A) \[50\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    B) \[100\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    C) \[75\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    D) None of the above

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] In \[\Delta ABC,\] \[DE||BC\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{ar(\Delta ADE)}{ar(\Delta ABC)}=\frac{{{(DE)}^{2}}}{{{(BC)}^{2}}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{25}{ar(\Delta ABC)}=\frac{{{(4)}^{2}}}{{{(8)}^{2}}}=\frac{16}{64}=\frac{1}{4}\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,ar(\Delta ABC)=25\times 4=100\,c{{m}^{2}}\]
