  1. Three medians AD, BE and CF of DABC intersect at G. The area of ∆ABC is 36 sq. cm. Then the area of ∆CGE is
    1. 12 sq. cm.
    2. 6 sq. cm.
    3. 9 sq. cm.
    4. 18 sq. cm.
Correct Option: B


Medians intersect at point G.
∴ ∆ABG = ∆BGC = ∆AGC.
GE bisects ∆CGE.
∴ ∆AGE = ∆CGE
∴ Area of ∆CGE

=
1
× Area of ∆ABC
6

=
1
× 36 = 6 sq.cm.
