    Ans: c
    we know that,

    When a line is drawn parallel to
    one side of a triangle to intersect
    the other two sides in distinct
    points, then the other two sides are
    divided in the same ratio.
    given that,
    DE || AB .
    so,
    → CD / DA = CE / EB
    putting values we get,
    → 3 / DA = 4 / 6
    → 3 / DA = 2 / 3
    → 2DA = 3 * 3
    → DA = 9 / 2
