Solution

The correct option is B

Total number of points are $m + n + k$ , the $△$ 's formed by these points = $^{m + n + k} C_{3}$

Joining 3 points on the same line gives no triangle, such $△$ 's are $^{m} C_{3} +^{n} C_{3} +^{k} C_{3}$

$∴ r e q u i r e d n u m b e r o f t r i a n g l e s o f o r m e d =^{m + n + k} C_{3} -^{m} C_{3} -^{n} C_{3} -^{k} C_{3}$

The correct option is B Total number of points are m+n+k, the △'s formed by these points = m+n+kC3 Joining 3 points on the same line gives no triangle, such △'s are mC3+nC3+kC3 ∴ required number of triangle so formed=m+n+kC3−mC3−nC3−kC3
