Correct Answer: 13


Solution :
AD, BE and CF are the median intersecting at point G
$\therefore$ Area of joining the points D, E and F would be $\frac{1}{4}$th of $\triangle ABC$
Area of of $\triangle DEF=\frac{1}{4}\times156=39 \;cm^2$
G will be the centroid of the triangle.
Area of $\triangle FGE$ = Area of $\triangle DFG$ = Area of $\triangle DGE$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ Area of $\triangle DEF$
= $\frac{1}{3}\times 39$
= $13 \ cm^2$
Hence, the correct answer is 13.
