Detailed Solution

Since D and E are the midpoints of AB and AC.
Draw a triangle ABC with D and E as midpoints AB and AC.
Since D is the midpoint of AB, this means that AB will be twice AD.
2AD = ABeqn.1  
Similarly, E is the midpoint of AC , it means AC will be twice of AE.
2AE = ACeqn.2  
Now , we know Area of triangle =  1 2 ×base×height  
So, Area of ΔABC= 1 2 ×AC×AB  
Since, ADE also from a triangle
1 2 ×AE×AD  
From eqn. 1 and eqn. 2 , we get
= 1 2 × AC 2 × AB 2 = 1 2 × 1 2 ×AC×AB = 1 4 (area ofΔABC)  
So, the correct answer is Option 2.
