    In figure, \[\left. DE \right\|BC,\] \[\text{AD}=\text{1 cm}\] and \[\text{BD}=\text{2 cm}\]. The ratio of the \[ar(\Delta ABC)\]to the \[ar(\Delta ADE)\] is :                      
     

    A) \[1:9\]   

    B) \[9:1\]

    C) \[1:2\]

    D) \[1:4\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Given, \[AD=1\,cm,\] \[BD=2\,cm\]
    and     \[DE||BC.\]
    In \[\Delta ABC\] and \[\Delta ADE.\]
    \[\angle ABC=\angle ADE\]                              
    (As \[DE||BC,\]so corresponding angles are equal)
    \[\angle A=\angle A\]            (Common angles)
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\Delta ABC\tilde{\ }\Delta ADE,\]          (By AA similarity)
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{ar(\Delta ABC)}{ar(\Delta ADE)}=\frac{A{{B}^{2}}}{A{{D}^{2}}}={{\left( \frac{3}{1} \right)}^{2}}\]
                            \[[AB=AD+DB=1+2=3]\]
                \[=\frac{9}{1}\]
