Let \(l_1\) and \(l_2\) be two lines intersecting at \(P\). If \(A_1, B_1, C_1\) are points on \(l_1\), and \(A_2, B_2, C_2, D_2, E_2\) are points on \(l_2\) and if none of these coincides with \(P\), then the number of triangles formed by these eight points, is :

  1. A 56
  2. B 55
  3. C 46
  4. D 45
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 45

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If triangle is formed including point ' \(P\) ' the other points must be one from \(l_1\) and other point from \(l_2\). Number of triangles formed with \(P\), \(n\left(E_1\right)={ }^3 C_1 \times{ }^5 C_1=15 \text { ways }\) When \(P\) is not included, Number of triangles formed…
