Find the total number of rectangles on a normal chessboard.

Find the total number of rectangles on a normal chessboard.
  1. \({ }^8 \mathrm{C}_2 \times{ }^8 \mathrm{C}_2\)
  2. \({ }^8 \mathrm{C}_2+{ }^8 \mathrm{C}_2\)
  3. \({ }^9 \mathrm{C}_2 \times{ }^9 \mathrm{C}_2\)
  4. \({ }^9 P_2 \times{ }^9 P_2\)

Solution

Total number of Rectangles in \(n \times n\) chess board \(=n+1_{c_2} \times n+1_{c_2}\) \(\therefore\) Total Number of Rectangles in \(8 \times 8\) chess Boord \(=9_{c_2} \times 9_{c_2}\) Hence, option (c) is correct.
