Last Answer : (d) 1 : 16Gvien \(rac{AD}{AB}=rac{1}{4}\) ⇒ \(rac{AD}{DB}=rac{1}{3}\),i.e., D divides AB internally in the ratio 1 : 3. ∴ Co-odinates of D are\(\bigg(rac{1+12}{1+3},rac{5+18}{1+3}\bigg)\)i.e.,\(\ ... {Area of}\,\Delta{ADE}}{ ext{Area of}\,\Delta{ABC}}\) = \(rac{rac{15}{32}}{rac{15}{2}}\) = 1 : 16.
