Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 96

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Required number of distinct triangles \[ \begin{aligned} & ={ }^4 C_1 \times{ }^6 C_2+{ }^4 C_2 \times{ }^6 C_1=4 \times \frac{6 \times 5}{2 \times 1}+\frac{4 \times 3}{2 \times 1} \times 6 \\ & =4 \times 3 \times 5+2 \times 3 \times 6=60+36=96 \end{aligned} \]
