Solution
The correct option is D 10
The figure is labelled as shown. In this case, six pentagons have been formed by the combination of three triangles and two rhombuses- ADEFHJ, CFHJL, EHJLB, GJLBD, ILBDF and KBDFH. Four other pentagons are formed by the combination of three triangles and one rhombus - LCFHM, LBEHM, BKFHM and BLlFM. Thus, there are 10 pentagons in the figure.
