Solution

The correct option is A 1:1
Triangles BCD, BDA, and ABC has same height and their bases are related by CD = AD = AC/2.
Hence, Area of BCD = Area of BDA = (Area of ABC)/2
Similarly, Area of ABE = Area of ACE = (Area of ABC)/2
So, Area of BCD = Area of ACE
--> (Area of FDCE + Area of BEF) = (Area of FDCE + Area of AFD)
--> Area of BEF = Area of AFD
Now we know, Area of BCD = Area of BDA
--> (Area of FDCE + Area of BEF) = (Area of AFB + Area of AFD)
--> Area of FDCE = Area of AFB
Hence, the required ratio is 1:1.
