उत्तर
Given: In ΔABC, AD, BE and CF are medians and intersect at G.
To prove: ar (ΔAGB) = ar (ΔAGC) = ar (ΔBGC) = `1/3` ar (ΔABC)
Proof: We know that, a median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of equal area.
In ΔABC, AD is a median
∴ ar (ΔABD) = ar (ΔACD) ...(i)
In ΔBGC, GD is a median
∴ ar (ΔGBD) = ar (ΔGCD) ...(ii)
On subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get
ar (ΔABD) – ar (ΔGBD) = ar (ΔACD) – ar (ΔGCD)
⇒ ar (ΔAGB) = ar (ΔAGC) ...(iii)
Similarly, ar (ΔAGB) = ar (ΔBGC) ...(iv)
From equations (iii) and (iv),
ar (ΔAGB) = ar (ΔBGC) = ar (ΔAGC) ...(v)
Now, ar (ΔABC) = ar (ΔAGB) + ar (ΔBGC) + ar (ΔAGC)
⇒ ar (ΔABC) = ar (ΔAGB) + ar (ΔAGB) + ar (ΔAGB) ...[From equation (v)]
⇒ ar (ΔABC) = 3 ar (ΔAGB)
⇒ ar (ΔAGB) = `1/3` ar (ΔABC) ...(vi)
From eqattions (v) and (vi),
ar (ΔBGC) = `1/3` ar (ΔABC)
And ar (ΔAGC) = `1/3` ar (ΔABC)
Hence proved.

Can you answer the question that you have left in the ’Introduction’ of this chapter, whether the field of Budhia has been actually divided into three parts of equal area?
[Remark: Note that by taking BD = DE = EC, the triangle ABC is divided into three triangles ABD, ADE and AEC of equal areas. In the same way, by dividing BC into n equal parts and joining the points of division so obtained to the opposite vertex of BC, you can divide ΔABC into n triangles of equal areas.]
