q 14.
in ACBE,
BE is paralell to AC
area(ABC) = area(ABE)
in AFCB,
CF is paralell to AB
area(ABC) = area(ACF)
therefore, area(ACF) = (ABE)

They have given that EB||AC , AB||FC and also XY||BC.
To Prove : ar(ABE)=ar(ACF).
Construction : Extend YX to Intersect EB at M and extend XY to intersect CF at N. So that, EA||MY and AF||XN.
Proof : 
            EB||AC and AB is transversal, 
    ->>angle "CAB=EBA"
​            Also, EA||BC and AB is transversal, (MY||EA & MY||BC .So,EA||BC)
    ->>angle "ABC=EAB"

In triangle ABC and EAB,
    ->>angle"CAB=EBA"
    ​->>angle"ABC=EAB"
    ->>  AB=AB (common side)
By ASA criteria,
    ->>triangle ABC congruent to triangle EAB.->1
Similarly,
    ​->>triangle ABC congruent to triangle ACF.->2

From 1 & 2,
     ->>triangle ABE congruent to triangle ACF...
 
So,      ar(ABE)=ar(ACF)

     ->> Hence proved!!!
