Correct Answer: 30

Solution

We have :

Now area of ADE = $$\frac{1}{2}\times\ AD\times\ AE\times\ \sin A$$
=$$\frac{1}{2}\times\ 2x\times\ 2y\times\ \sin A=8$$
we get xy sinA =4
Now Area of triangle ABC = $$\frac{1}{2}AB\times\ AC\times\ \sin A$$
we get $$\frac{1}{2}\times3x\ \times5y\ \sin A=\frac{15}{2}xy\ \sin A=\ \frac{15}{2}\times\ 4$$
we get Area of ABC = 30
