Detailed Solution

Given that ar(ΔDEF)   = 44 square units
And  ΔDEF~ΔABC   DE:AB=2:3   Find the ar (ΔABC)  
Use the theorem of areas of triangle: Ratio of area of similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the square of its corresponding sides.
 Now,
ar(ΔDEF) ar(ΔABC) = (DE) 2 (AB) 2    44 ar(ΔABC) = (2) 2 (3) 2 44 ar(ΔABC) = 4 9 ar(ΔABC)= 44×9 4 ar(ΔABC)=99 square units  
ΔDEF~ΔABC,   if D E:AB=2:3   and ar(ΔDEF)   is equal to  44  square units, then the ar (ΔABC)   is 99 square units.
Therefore, option 2 is correct.
