I edited the source for you this time but please mention the source of question from next time.
AB = AE = lets say 2
Now join BD and CF, so, point where CF meet on BD = X
You will get 4 rt tringles in Quad. BCDF
Area of ABE = \frac{b\times h}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2
Area of one of the rt. triangles of Quad. BCDF = \frac{b\times h}{2}=\frac{1}{2} and we got 4 of them so, 4 \times \frac{1}{2}=2
Ans C
Thanks for adding the source of the question. I will take care of it going forward.
Could you please explain how AB = AE?
Side opposite to equal angle are equal
