Solution

The correct option is C all the vertices lie on different sides =abc
Total number of triangles = total number of ways of choosing 3 points number of ways of choosing all the 3 points from AB or BC or CA
=a+b+cC3(aC3+bC3+cC3)
Number of triangle formed such that all the vertices lies on different sides =aC1bC1cC1=abc

Number of triangles formed such that two of the vertices lies on same side =a+b+cC3(aC3+bC3+cC3+abc)
