Question:

In ΔABC, AD is median and G is the point on AD such that AG : GD = 2 : 1, then area (ΔABG) : area (ΔABC) is equal to?

Options:

2 : 3

1 : 3

1 : 6

6 : 7

Correct Answer:

1 : 3

Explanation:

G is centroid

So, area of ΔABG = area of ΔBGC = area of ΔAGC

Let area of each Δ = 1 Unit2

area of ΔABC = ΔABG + area of ΔBGC + area of ΔAGC = 3

area of (ΔABG) : area of (ΔABC)

           1          :          3
