oops! i was wrong
C) 9900

10*9*11*10=9900 (for P and R points - same x-coordinate...but for third point 9..if 10 it will be line, not triangle... and the same for y-coord!)

Hey can you please explain it clearly. I totally got lost, when you are finding the next 10 and 11. Sorry for the trouble.

think this way.


assume x values are
(x1,.... x10)
Y values are
(y1,.... y11)


you need three points to form a triangle.

(x1,y1) , (x1,y2) (x2 y1) form a triangle.

--> that means you need to select two points (x1,x2) from x series and two points (y1,y2) from y series.

Select two points from x series = 10P2 (since order does matter.. it should be permuation)
Select two points from y series = 11P2
Answer = 11P2 *10P2 = 11*10 * 10*9 = 9900

I hope you got it.
