Solution

The correct options are
A

Area of ∆BEC and ∆ BDC are equal.


C

DE is parallel to BC


D

All of the above


D and E are the midpoints of AB and AC.
DE will be parallel to BC (Midpoint theorem).
So, option C is correct.
Area of ∆BEC and ∆BDC will be equal as they are on the same base and between same parallel.

Option (A) is correct
Also, Area of ∆BEC - Area of ∆BOC = Area of ∆BDC - Area of ∆BOC.
Thus, Area of ∆DOB = Area of ∆EOC.
So, option D is correct.
Area of BDEC is not equal to Area of ∆BDC (If a triangle and a parallelogram are on the same base and between the same parallels, then the area of the triangle is equal to half the area of the parallelogram but BDEC is a trapezium).
So, option B is incorrect.
