Correct Answer: $1 : 2$
Solution : Given: $\angle$ABC = 90°, AB = BC In $\triangle$ABC, AC2 = AB2 + BC2 = AB2 + AB2 = 2AB2 Since, $\triangle$ACD $\sim$ $\triangle$ABE, $\frac{\text{area of} \triangle ABE}{\text{area of} \triangle ACD}=\frac{AB^2}{AC^2}$ ⇒ $\frac{\text{area of} \triangle ABE}{\text{area of} \triangle ACD}=\frac{AB^2}{2AB^2}$ $\therefore \frac{\text{area of} \triangle ABE}{\text{area of} \triangle ACD}=\frac{1}{2}$ Hence, the correct answer is $1 : 2$.
