Options

  1. A364364
  2. B240240
  3. C333333
  4. D360360

Correct answer

C. 333333

Step-by-step solution

If the sides AB, BC and CA of a triangle ABC have 3, 5 and 6 interior points respectively, then the total number of

We know that for making a triangle, we require three points, which are not on a line.

Here, we have total 3+5+6=143 + 5 + 6 = 14 points out of which 3,5,63, 5, 6 points respectively, on AB,BCAB, BC and CACA are collinear.

Thus, the total Number of triangles formed

=C314−C33−C35−C36= C3 14 - C3 3 - C3 5 - C3 6

=14!3!⋅11!−3!3!⋅0!−5!3!⋅2!−6!3!⋅3!= \dfrac{14 !}{3 ! \cdot 11 !} - \dfrac{3 !}{3 ! \cdot 0 !} - \dfrac{5 !}{3 ! \cdot 2 !} - \dfrac{6 !}{3 ! \cdot 3 !}

=14×13×12×11!3×2×1×11!−1−5×4×3!3!×2×1−6×5×4×3!3×2×1×3!= \dfrac{14 \times 13 \times 12 \times 11 !}{3 \times 2 \times 1 \times 11 !} - 1 - \dfrac{5 \times 4 \times 3 !}{3 ! \times 2 \times 1} - \dfrac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 !}{3 \times 2 \times 1 \times 3 !}

364−1−10−20=333.364 - 1 - 10 - 20 = 333 .

Hence, total number of triangles is 333.333 .
