Answer

From figure,

⇒ ∠BAE = x (let)

⇒ ∠DAB = ∠EAC = y (let)

⇒ ∠AED = ∠ACB = z (let)

⇒ ∠DAE = ∠DAB + ∠BAE = y + x

⇒ ∠BAC = ∠BAE + ∠EAC = x + y

⇒ ∠DAE = ∠BAC = x + y

In △ ABC and △ ADE,

⇒ ∠DAE = ∠BAC (Proved above)

⇒ ∠AED = ∠ACB (Both equal to z)

∴ △ ADE ~ △ ABC (By A.A. axiom)

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
