    If PQRS is a convex quadrilateral with 3, 4, 5 and 6 points marked on sides PQ, QR, RS and PS respectively, then the number of triangles with vertices on different sides is

    A)                 220                        

    B) 270    

    C) 342                        

    D) 282

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Total number of triangles = Number of triangles with vertices on sides PQ, OR and RS+ Number of triangles with vertices on sides OR, RS and PS + Number of triangles with vertices on sides RS, PS and PQ + Number of triangles with vertices on sides PS. PQ and QR \[{{=}^{3}}{{C}_{1}}{{\times }^{4}}{{C}_{1}}{{\times }^{5}}{{C}_{1}}{{\times }^{4}}{{C}_{1}}{{\times }^{5}}{{C}_{1}}{{\times }^{6}}{{C}_{1}}\] \[+{{\,}^{5}}{{C}_{1}}{{\times }^{6}}\,{{C}_{1}}{{\times }^{3}}\,{{C}_{1}}{{+}^{6}}{{C}_{1}}{{\times }^{3}}\,{{C}_{1}}{{\times }^{4}}{{C}_{1}}\] \[=60+120+90+72=342\]
