Vedclass · Answer

(A) Total number of points on the sides of the triangle $ABC$ is $3 + 4 + 5 = 12$.The total number of ways to select $3$ points out of $12$ is given by $^{12}C_3 = \frac{12 	imes 11 	imes 10}{3 	imes 2 	imes 1} = 220$.However,points lying on the same side are collinear and cannot form a triangle. We must subtract these cases:$1$. Points on side $AB$: $^3C_3 = 1$ way.$2$. Points on side $BC$: $^4C_3 = 4$ ways.$3$. Points on side $CA$: $^5C_3 = 10$ ways.Total number of triangles = (Total combinations) - (Collinear combinations) = $220 - (1 + 4 + 10) = 220 - 15 = 205$.

The sides $AB, BC, CA$ of a triangle $ABC$ have respectively $3, 4$ and $5$ points lying on them. The number of triangles that can be constructed using these points as vertices is
