[quote="himanshu14"]When perimeter is given as P.
if P=odd
No. of triangle =[(p+3)^2/48]
if P=odd
No. of triangle =[(p)^2/48]
where [ ] is nearest integer function.

here P=15 (odd)
so no of triangle = [18*18/48]= [6.75]= 7[/quote]

From where, you got this formula. Also for second case I think it should be if P=even.

Let 'a', 'b', and 'c' be the three sides of the triangle.

The Sum of the two sides is greater than the third side and the difference of the two sides is less than the third side.

=> a + b + c = 15 [none of the side can be '0']

For Equilateral: a = b = c = 5.

For isosceles:

Let a = 1 then b = c = 7 - Possible
a = 3 then b = c = 6 - Possible
a = b = 4 and c = 7 - Possible
a = b = 6 and c = 3 - Possible

Scalene: a = 2 b = 6 c = 7 - Possible
a = 4 b = 5 c = 6 - Possible

1 Equilaterla + 2 Scalene + 4 isoceles = 7 triangles

Answer A

Hello , Greatest integer function of 6.75 is 6 not 7 so this shortcut doesn't works her
