In the figure, $\triangle ABC$ has $\angle A =45^{\circ}$ and $\angle B =30^{\circ}$. A line $DE$, with $D$ on $AB$ 
and $\angle ADE =60^{\circ}$, divides $\triangle ABC$ into two pieces of equal area. 
(Note: the figure may not be accurate; perhaps $E$ is on $CB$ instead of $AC.)$
The ratio $\frac{AD}{AB}$ is

$\textbf{(A)}\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \frac{2}{2+\sqrt{2}} \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{6}}\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ \frac{1}{\sqrt[4]{12}}$
First we show that $E$ is on $AC$, as in the given figure, by demonstrating that if $E = C$, then $\triangle ADE$ has more than half the area, so $DE$ is too far to the right. Specifically, assume $E = C$ and drop an altitude from $C$ to $AB$ that meets $AB$ at $F$. Without loss of generality, assume that $CF = 1$, so that $\frac{\text{Area} \ \triangle EAD}{\text{Area} \ \triangle EAB} = \frac{AD}{AB}$ (as they have the same height, and area is $\frac{1}{2}$ times the product of base and height), which is $\frac{1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{1 + \sqrt{3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} > \frac{1}{2}$, as required. Thus we must move $DE$ to the left, scaling $\triangle EAD$ by a factor of $k$ such that $\text{Area} \ \triangle EAD = \frac{1}{2} \ \text{Area} \ \triangle CAB \implies \frac{1}{2}k^{2}(1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}) = \frac{1}{4}(1+\sqrt{3}) \implies k^{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \implies k = (\frac{3}{4})^{\frac{1}{4}}$. Thus $\frac{AD}{AB} = \frac{k(1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})}{1+\sqrt{3}} = \frac{k}{\sqrt{3}} = (\frac{3}{4})^{\frac{1}{4}} \times (\frac{1}{9})^{\frac{1}{4}} = (\frac{1}{12})^{\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt[4]{12}}$, which is answer $\boxed{E}$.
