Step-by-step explanation:
In △ABC, we have
DE||BC
⇒ ∠ADE=∠ABC and ∠AED=∠ACB [Corresponding angles]
Thus, in triangles ADE and ABC, we have
∠A=∠A [Common]
∠ADE=∠ABC
and, ∠AED=∠ACB
∴ △AED∼△ABC [By AAA similarity]
⇒
AB
AD
=
BC
DE
We have,
DB
AD
=
4

⇒
AD
DB
=

⇒
AD

DB+AD

⇒

∴

In △DFE and △CFB, we have
∠1=∠3 [Alternate interior angles]
∠2=∠4 [Vertically opposite angles]
Therefore, by AA-similarity criterion, we have
△DFE∼△CFB
⇒
Area(△CFB)
Area(△DFE)
=
BC

DE

⇒
Area(△CFB)
Area(△DFE)
=(
