In the given triangle, the following side-length ratios are known,
$$AE ∶ EB = 3 ∶ 4,\>\>\> BD ∶ DC = 5 ∶ 6,\>\>\> AF ∶ FC = 2 ∶ 3$$
Then find the ratio AO ∶ OD.
I can solve it by mass point geometry but i want to know if there is any other method available. MpG feels like finding center of mass in physics, unlike rigorous mathematics.



Denote various areas as $[\cdot]$ and use area ratios below to evaluate
\begin{align} \frac{AO}{OD} =& \ \frac{[AEF]}{[EDF]} = \frac{[AEF]}{[EBCF]-[FDC]-[EBD]}\\ = &\ \frac{\frac 25 \frac 37 [ABC]} {\left( 1-\frac 25 \frac 37 \right)[ABC] - \frac 35 \frac{6}{11}[ABC] - \frac 47 \frac{5}{11}[ABC]} \\ = &\ \frac{\frac{6}{35}} {\frac{25}{35} - \frac{18}{55} - \frac{20}{77}}=\frac{22}{31} \end{align}
