ABCD is a square. One point on each of AB and CD; and two distinct points on each of BC and DA are chosen. How many distinct triangles can be drawn using any three points as vertices out of these six points?

Select an option to attempt

Explanation

No three of these points are collinear. So, the number of distinct triangles that we can draw using these six points = 6C3{6C3} = (6×5×4)(3×2)\frac{(6 \times 5 \times 4)}{(3 \times 2)} = 2020

Hence, option (C) is correct.
