A) \[\frac{m+n-2}{m+n}\]
B) \[\frac{m+n-2}{2}\]
C) \[\frac{m+n-2}{m+n+2}\]
D) None of these
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Case I: When \[A\] is excluded. Number of triangles = selection of 2 points from \[AB\] and one point from \[AC+\] selection of one point from \[AB\] and two points from \[AC\] \[{{=}^{m}}{{C}_{2}}^{n}{{C}_{1}}{{+}^{m}}{{C}_{1}}^{n}{{C}_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}(m+n-2)mn\] ?..(i) Case II: When \[A\] is included. The triangles with one vertex at \[A=\] selection of one point from \[AB\] and one point from \[AC=mn\]. \[\therefore \] Number of triangles \[=mn+\frac{1}{2}mn(m+n-2)\]\[=\frac{1}{2}mn(m+n)\] ?..(ii) \[\therefore \]Required ratio\[=\frac{(m+n-2)}{(m+n)}\].You need to login to perform this action.
