Detailed Solution

It is given that D and E are midpoints of BC and AC.
Also, area of Δ   DEC = 6 units
Question ImageLet F be midpoint of AB, then, join DF and FE.
So, totally there formed four equal triangles inside triangle ABC.
Now, area of Δ  ABC = 4 ×  area of Δ  DEC  Area of Δ  ABC = 4 ×6    Area of Δ  ABC = 24 units
So, if in triangle Δ   ABC, area of Δ   DEC = 6 units, then area of Δ   ABC = 24 units.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
