We’ve worked incredibly hard to build TTP into the best test prep experience possible, and it would mean a lot to us to win Newsweek’s 2026 Readers’ Choice Award for Best Test Prep. If TTP has helped you, we’d be incredibly grateful for your vote.

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
