option (3) #8cm^2#

Explanation:

Given area of #Delta ABC=10cm^2#

#AD =2cm and BD =3cm #, So #AB=5cm#

Area of #Delta ABE=# area of quadrilateral DBEF

Area of #Delta ABE-DeltaBDE=# area of quadrilateral DBEF-#Delta BDE#

Area of #Delta ADE=Delta DFE#

But #Delta ADE and Delta DFE# lie on same base #DE#. So their heights will be same. Hence #DE"||"AC#

So #Delta ABC and Delta BDE# are similar

Hence

# (Delta BDE)/(Delta ABC)=(BD)^2/(AB)^2=3^2/5^2=9/25#

#Delta BDE=9/25xxDelta ABC=9/25xx10=18/5cm^2#

Again

#(DeltaADE)/(DeltaBDE)=(AD)/(BD)=2/3#

#=>(DeltaADE+DeltaBDE)/(DeltaBDE)=2/3+1=5/3#

#Delta ABE=5/3xxDelta BDE=5/3xx18/5=6cm^2#
