BE, CF are two medians of $$\triangle $$ABC and G is their point of intersection. EF cuts AG at O. Ratio of AO : OG is equal to
BE, CF are two medians of $$\triangle $$ABC and G is their point of intersection
$$=$$> AB = 2AF and  AC = 2AE
$$=$$>Â G is the centroid of the $$\triangle $$ABC and divides the median AH in the ratio 2 : 1
$$=$$>Â AG : GH = 2 : 1
$$=$$>Â AG = 2GH ...................(1)
$$\triangle $$AFE is similar to $$\triangle $$ABC
$$=$$> Â $$\frac{AF}{AB}=\frac{AO}{AH}$$
$$=$$> Â $$\frac{AF}{2AF}=\frac{AO}{AG+GH}$$
$$=$$> Â $$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{AO}{2GH+GH}$$
$$=$$> Â $$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{AO}{3GH}$$
$$=$$>Â GH = $$\frac{2}{3}$$AO .................(2)
From (1) and (2)
AG = 2($$\frac{2}{3}$$AO)
$$=$$>Â AO + OG =Â $$\frac{4}{3}$$AO
$$=$$>Â OG =Â $$\frac{4}{3}$$AO - AO
$$=$$>Â OG =Â $$\frac{1}{3}$$AO
$$=$$> Â $$\frac{AO}{OG}=\frac{3}{1}$$
$$=$$>Â AO : OG = 3 : 1
Hence, the correct answer is Option A
