Points D D D , E E E , F F F are taken respectively on sides A B AB A B , B C BC B C , and C A CA C A of triangle A B C ABC A B C so that A D : D B = B E : C E = C F : F A = 1 : n AD:DB=BE:CE=CF:FA=1:n A D : D B = B E : C E = C F : F A = 1 : n . The ratio of the area of triangle D E F DEF D E F to that of triangle A B C ABC A B C is:
(A) n 2 − n + 1 ( n + 1 ) 2 (B) 1 ( n + 1 ) 2 (C) 2 n 2 ( n + 1 ) 2 (D) n 2 ( n + 1 ) 2 (E) n ( n − 1 ) n + 1 \textbf{(A)}\ \frac{n^2-n+1}{(n+1)^2} \textbf{(B)}\ \frac{1}{(n+1)^2} \textbf{(C)}\ \frac{2n^2}{(n+1)^2} \textbf{(D)}\ \frac{n^2}{(n+1)^2} \textbf{(E)}\ \frac{n(n-1)}{n+1} (A) ( n + 1 ) 2 n 2 − n + 1 (B) ( n + 1 ) 2 1 (C) ( n + 1 ) 2 2 n 2 (D) ( n + 1 ) 2 n 2 (E) n + 1 n ( n − 1 )
