@Abhijeet Verma You are awesome in geometry.. which city do you belong to? Are you in std11?

Well, if you can't see my city, here's some help for you- I live in a city which was developed by Dost Mohammed (1708-1740) (one of Emperor Aurangazeb's Afghan governors), with a current (not really current) population of 2,368,145, spawning over an area of 2,772 sq km, with STD code 0755 and with a literacy rate of 82.3%.
So, can you guess? {btw, I am in class 9(lol)}

@Ayush Choubey – @Ayush Choubey Yeah, but you defeated me there as well! damn it! I came to know you failed four times!
So you live in Bhopal;which school do you attend,and which coaching ,as a lot of people go to coaching from 9th itself in the city
@Pulkit Deshmukh Great problem. @Abhijeet Verma Even better solution.
I made a damn silly error. Curse me.
Triangles where the areas are given are all similar.

FLCP, JAPD, and EPBK are | |grams. Implies LC=FP=4, .. BK=PE=6, ..JD=AP=2x, ..EK=PB=7x.
So LK=LC+CB+BK=24. ...... JK=JD+DE+EK=12x.
Triangle PCB=1/2 * PB * CB=49x=49 square units. So x=1.
So area JLK=1/2 * LK * JK=1/2 * 24 * 12 * 1=
1

The question can easily be solved using the similarity between the triangles. It can easily be deduced that F P C L a n d E P B K a r e p a r a l l e l o g r a m s ⟹ F P = L C . . . . . . . ( 1 ) P E = B K . . . . . . . ( 2 ) △ A F P ∼ △ P C B △ D P E ∼ △ P C B t h e r e f o r e , a r ( △ P C B ) a r ( △ A F P ) = ( C B F P ) 2 = 4 9 4 . . . . . . . ( 3 ) a r ( △ P C B ) a r ( △ D P E ) = ( C B P E ) 2 = 4 9 9 . . . . . . . . ( 4 ) ⟹ P E F P = 3 2 . . . . . . . .
