7 points are marked on a straight line and another 8 points are marked on a second straight line with no points in common. How many triangles can be constructed with vertices from among the above points?

A. 21
B. 91
C. 168
D. 196
E. 364

Ans: E

Solution: select 2 from 8 and one from 7 + select 2 from 7 and 1 from 8
8C2*7C1 + 7C2*8C1
= 196+ 168 = 364

Kudos for a correct solution.

Method.1: choose 2 points from 7 points in \(7C2\) ways and 1 point from 8 points in \(8\) ways or choose 2 points from 8 points in 8C2\(\) ways and 1 point from 7 point in 7 ways.

total traingles \(7C2*8+8C2*7\).

Method.2: choose 3 points from 7 points in \(7C3\) ways or choose 3 points from 8 points in \(8C3\) ways and subtract from \(15C3\).

\(15C3-(7C3+8C3)\)
