The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Consider points A, B, and C with coordinates (1, 1), (8, 10), and (4, 6), respectively.
The number of ways to go from A to B via C is calculated as the product of the number of ways to go from A to C and the number of ways to go from C to B, which is expressed as 8C5 × 8C4 = 3920.
The number of ways to go from A to B via C is calculated as the product of the number of ways to go from A to C and the number of ways to go from C to B, which is expressed as 8C5 × 8C4 = 3920.

Top Questions on Geometry
- A farmer has a triangular plot of land. One side of the plot, henceforth called the base, is 300 feet long and the other two sides are equal. The perpendicular distance, from the corner of the plot, where the two equal sides meet, to the base, is 200 feet.
To counter the adverse effect of climate change, the farmer wants to dig a circular pond. He plans that half of the circular area will be inside the triangular plot and the other half will be outside, which he will purchase at the market rate from his neighbour. The diameter of the circular plot is entirely contained in the base and the circumference of the pond touches the two equal sides of the triangle from inside.
If the market rate per square feet of land is Rs. 1400, how much does the farmer must pay to buy the land from his neighbour for the pond? (Choose the closest option.) - Consider a right-angled triangle ABC, right angled at B. Two circles, each of radius r, are drawn inside the triangle in such a way that one of them touches AB and BC, while the other one touches AC and BC. The two circles also touch each other (see the image below).
If AB = 18 cm and BC = 24 cm, then find the value of r.
- A group of boys is practising football in a rectangular ground. Raju and Ratan are standing at the two opposite mid-points of the two shorter sides. Raju has the ball, who passes it to Rivu, who is standing somewhere on one of the longer sides. Rivu holds the ball for 3 seconds and passes it to Ratan. Ratan holds the ball for 2 seconds and passes it back to Raju. The path of the ball from Raju to Rivu makes a right angle with the path of the ball from Rivu to Ratan. The speed of the ball, whenever passed, is always 10 metre per second, and the ball always moves on straight lines along the ground.
Consider the following two additional pieces of information:
I. The dimension of the ground is 80 metres × 50 metres.
II. The area of the triangle formed by Raju, Rivu and Ratan is 1000 square metres.
Consider the problem of computing the following: how many seconds does it take for Raju to get the ball back since he passed it to Rivu? Choose the correct option. - Given below are two statements
Statement I =If two chords XY and ZT of a circle intersects internally at point P,then PX-PYPZ-PT
Statement II =If two chords XY and ZT of a circle intersect internally at point P,then PXZ and PTY are similar triangles
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below - In the given figure the value of angle ‘x’ is _________
