\(p\) points are chosen on each of the three coplanar lines. The maximum number of triangles formed with vertices at these points is

  1. A \(p^3+3 p^2\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{2}\left(p^3+p\right)\)
  3. C \(\frac{p^2}{2}(5 p-3)\)
  4. D \(p^2(4 p-3)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(p^2(4 p-3)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total number of points in a plane is \(3 p\). \(\therefore\) Maximum number of triangles \(={ }^3{ }^p C_3-3 \cdot{ }^p C_3\) [Here, we subtract those triangles which points are in a line]…
