Solution

The correct option is B
16 sticks

The number of sticks required to make L's is twice the number of L's formed.
Let us consider 'n' is the number of L's to be made.
If one L is made, n=1; if two L's are made n=2 and so on.
Number of sticks required is 2×n.
Therefore, the number of sticks required to make 8 L patterns are 2×8=16 sticks .
