Correct Answer: 2 : 3
Solution :
The point of intersection of the medians of a triangle is called the centroid.
It divides each median in the ratio 2 : 1.
So, $\frac{AG}{GD}=\frac{2}{1}$
Let AG = 2 units, GD = 1 unit
$\therefore$ AD = AG + GD = 2 + 1 = 3 units
Now, $\frac{AG}{AD}=\frac{2}{3}$
$\therefore$ AG : AD = 2 : 3
Hence, the correct answer is 2 : 3.
