The correct answer is: $1 / 5$


Equation of $\mathrm{BF}$
$y=2 x$
equation of AD
$\begin{array}{l}
x+2 y=4 \\
x\left(\frac{4}{5}, \frac{8}{5}\right) \\
\frac{\operatorname{ar}(\triangle \mathrm{AFX})}{\operatorname{ar}(\Delta \mathrm{ABF})}=\frac{\frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times\left(2-\frac{8}{5}\right)}{\frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 2}=\frac{1}{5}
\end{array}$
