In ΔABC, D is the midpoint of BC. E is a point on AC such that AE : EC = 2 : 1 and F is a point on AB such that AF : FB = 3 : 1. Line segments AD and FE intersect at point O. What is the ratio of the area of ΔDOF to the area of ΔDOE?
a8 : 9
b9 : 8
c3 : 4
d4 : 3


any easy approach for this questn, the solution provided by CL went above my head...

Find the number of positive terms in the xpansion
A) (2007C2 - 1)/2
B) (2007C2+1)/2
C) (1003)^2
D) (1003)^2 + 1003
Ans: C) (1003)^2

Whenever sum of powers of b and c is even....the term will be positive....so the ans will be 1+3+...+2005=(1003)^2

A) She recommended that John should take the ferry.
B) She recommended that John takes the ferry.
C) She recommended that John had taken the ferry.
D) She recommended that John take the ferry.
Considering the Subjunctive mood d) looks correct.
Subjunctive mood =>
i)wish(wish you were here. Pink Floyd :mg:)
ii)To make a suggestion, demand, desire, etc.

Verbs such as order, suggest, demand, etc. must be
followed by 'that' and the infinitive form of the verb being ordered or
suggested, without the to

Examples:
1. The teacher recommended that Jerry be expelled from the
class.
2. The manager demanded that John show up for work on time.

Source =>Aristotle Sc

So here, ...(to) take the ferry.

since DOF and DOE has same base OD so
area of DOF : area of DOE = perpendicular of triangle DOF : perpendicular of triangle DOF
=> area of DOF : area of DOE =area of ADF : area of ADE ( as they have same base AD)

take total area = 24
so area ADB = area ADC =12 (median)
DF divide ADB in 1:3 so area ADF = 3/4 *12 =9
DE divide ADC in 1:2 so area ADE = 2/3 *12 =8
hence 9:8

Nuh!! it's correct.
have it figured out means spending lavishly. Though I also thought this one to be incorrect.
