is asking how the above commands should be changed if they don't find the 
package containing libntfs-3g.so.81.  The desired package turns out to be 
ntfs-3g in epel, where it won't be found by the above commands unless epel 
is enabled by default.  If epel is not enabled by default, one may still 
find the package with, for example,

yum --enablerepo=epel resolvedep libntfs-3g.so.81

To enable epel by default, edit /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo to have
"enabled=1" instead of "enabled=0" in the [epel] section.

To search all repositories in /etc/yum.repos.d,

yum --enablerepo="*" resolvedep libntfs-3g.so.81
