BD is the perpendicular bisector, hence AD= CD
moreover angle BAE = angle BCD
triangle AED and triangle EDC are similar and congruent hence angle EAD = 45= angle ECD= 60
hence ABC is a equilateral triangle , hence AB= BC= AC, lets say it is a
AD = sqrt AB*AB - AD/2*AD/2 = sqrt 3/2a
in triangle ADE,
DE =AD = a/2
hence BE = BD-DE= sqrt3 /2 a - a/2
area(triangle BEC)/ area (triangle ABC) = (1/2*CD *BE) /(sqrt 3/4 a^2) = (1/2* a/2*(sqrt3 /2- 1/2) / (sqrt3/4 a^2)= sqrt 3 - 1/sqrt 3/ 2, multiplying sqrt 3 on Numerator and Denominator
gives option A
