If a parallelogram is cut by two sets of mm lines parallel to its sides, then the number of parallelogram thus formed, is

Options

  1. AC2m×C2mC2 m \times C2 m
  2. B2(C2m+2)2 \left(C2 m + 2\right)
  3. C(C2m+2)2\left(C2 m + 2\right)2
  4. DNone of these

Correct answer

C. (C2m+2)2\left(C2 m + 2\right)2

Step-by-step solution

The two sets of mm parallel lines along with two sets of two parallel lines of the given parallelogram will form two sets of (m+2)\left(m + 2\right) parallel lines. Each parallelogram is formed by choosing two parallel lines from each of the above

∴∴ Total number of parallelograms

=C2m+2×C2m+2=(C2m+2)2= C2 m + 2 \times C2 m + 2 = \left(C2 m + 2\right)2

Hence, option (c) is correct.
