Calculation:

Area of triangle ABC = 156 cm2

AD, BE and CF are the medians intersecting at point G

Therefore, Area of triangle joining the points D, E and F would be 1/4th of triangle ABC

Area of triangle DEF = (1/4) × 156 = 39 cm2

Now, G will also be the centroid of triangle.

Area of triangle FGE = Area of triangle DFG = Area of triangle DGE = (1/3) × Area of triangle DEF

∴ Area of triangle FGE = (1/3) × 39 = 13cm2

∴ The correct answer is option (1).
