Correct Answer: $1:12$
Solution : In a triangle, the medians divide each other into segments in the ratio $2:1$, with the centroid (the point of intersection of the medians) closer to the vertex of the triangle. In $\triangle ABC$, if $BE$ and $CD$ are medians intersecting at $O$, then $OB:OE = 2:1$ $\triangle ODE\sim\triangle ODE$ The ratio of their areas is the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides. $\frac{ar(\triangle ODE)}{ar(\triangle BCO)}=\frac{OE^2}{OB^2}=\frac{1^2}{2^2}$ $⇒\frac{ar(\triangle ODE)}{ar(\triangle BCO)}=\frac{1 }{4}$ $⇒ar(\triangle BCO)=4×ar(\triangle ODE)$ $[\because ar(\triangle BCO)=\frac{1 }{3}×ar(\triangle ABC)]$ $⇒\frac{1 }{3}×ar(\triangle ABC)=4×ar(\triangle ODE)$ $\therefore ar(\triangle ABC)=12×ar(\triangle ODE)$ Hence, the correct answer is $1:12$.
