Detailed Solution

Given that D   and E   are two points on BC   such that BD=DE=EC  .
Question ImageConsider AP as the perpendicular to BC.
Area of triangle= 1 2  (base)(height)
ar ΔABD = 1 2 BD AP ar ΔADE = 1 2 DE AP ar ΔAEC = 1 2 EC AP  
 Since BD=DE=EC  ,  and the triangles have the same height.
Therefore, ar ΔABD =ar ΔADE =ar ΔAEC  .
Hence, the given statement is true.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
