The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the ratio \( AO : OG \) where \( G \) is the centroid of triangle \( ABC \) formed by the medians \( BE \) and \( CF \), and \( O \) is the intersection of line \( EF \) with line \( AG \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Medians**: - In triangle \( ABC \), \( BE \) and \( CF \) are medians. A median connects a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. Therefore, \( E \) is the midpoint of \( AC \) and \( F \) is the midpoint of \( AB \). 2. **Finding the Centroid**: - The centroid \( G \) of triangle \( ABC \) is the point where the three medians intersect. It divides each median in the ratio \( 2:1 \). This means that if we take median \( AG \), then \( AG \) is divided by \( G \) such that \( AG : GB = 2 : 1 \). 3. **Identifying Points**: - Let \( O \) be the point where line \( EF \) intersects line \( AG \). We need to find the ratio \( AO : OG \). 4. **Using the Properties of the Centroid**: - Since \( G \) divides the median \( AG \) in the ratio \( 2:1 \), we can express this as: \[ \frac{AO}{OG} = \frac{2}{1} \] - This means that for every 2 parts of \( AO \), there is 1 part of \( OG \). 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the ratio \( AO : OG \) is \( 2 : 1 \). ### Final Answer: \[ AO : OG = 2 : 1 \]
