Q40 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (17 Mar Shift 2) · Mathematics
If the sides and of a triangle have and interior points respectively, then the total number of triangles that can be constructed using these points as vertices, is equal to:
- A
- B
- Correct answerC
- D
Solution

We know that for making a triangle, we require three points, which are not on a line.
Here, we have total points out of which points respectively, on and are collinear.
Thus, the total Number of triangles formed
Hence, total number of triangles is
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
