Question:

In a ΔABC, the median BE intersects AC at E. If BG = 12 cm, where G is the centroid, then BE is equal to : 

Options:

16 cm

18 cm

15 cm

 13 cm 

Correct Answer:

18 cm

Explanation:

According to the concept,

BG : GE = 2 : 1

So, GE = 6 cm

Now,

BE = BG + GE

⇒ 12 + 6

⇒ 18 cm

Therefore, BE is equal to 18 cm.
