Solution

The correct option is C $\to b - 2 \to a$
In $Δ A B C, - - \to A B + - - \to B C = - - \to A C$
$\Rightarrow - - \to A C = \to a + \to b . . . . . (i)$
AD is parallel to BC and AD = 2BC, therefore $- - \to A D = 2 \to b$ .

In $Δ A C D, - - \to A C + - - \to C D = - - \to A D$
$\Rightarrow - - \to C D = 2 \to b - (\to a + \to b) = \to b - \to a$
$∴$ In $Δ C D E, - - \to C E = - - \to C D + - - \to D E = \to b - \to a + (- \to a) = \to b - 2 \to a$
