Solution

The correct option is A 1:4
(b) In $Δ$ CBE and $Δ$ ADE

CBA = CDA

(a chord of a circle subtends equal angle an all its circumference)

Similarily BCD = BAD and BEC = AED

(opp. angles)

Therefore $Δ$ CBE $Δ$ ADE (AAA similarity rule)

Now $\frac{B C}{D A} = \frac{12}{24} = \frac{1}{2}$ Thus, ratios of areas = 1:4,

since Ratio of Areas of 2 similar triangles = Ratio of squares of the corresponding sides
