Three parallel straight lines \(L_1, L_2\) and \(L_3\) lie on the the same plane. Consider 5 points on \(L_1, 7\) points on \(L_2\) and 9 points on \(L_3\). Then the maximum possible number of triangles formed with vertices at these points, is

  1. A 1330
  2. B 1200
  3. C 1201
  4. D 129
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1201

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Number of triangles if one vertex at each line is \[ ={ }^5 C_1 \times{ }^7 C_1 \times{ }^9 C_1=315 \] Number of triangles if two vertices at \(L_1\) and remaining at either \(L_2\) or \(L_3\) is \(={ }^5 C_2 \times{ }^{16} C_1=160\) Number of triangles if two vertices at…
