Suppose a triangle is formed by x+y=10 and the coordinate axes. Then the number of points x,y where x and y are natural numbers, lying inside the triangle is
  1. 36
  2. 55
  3. 45
  4. 30

Solution

Plotting the diagram of the given value we have,

Triangle formed will have vertices as

O0,0, A10,0 and B0,10

If x=1, Point on the hypotenuse 1,9

So, number of integral points lying inside triangle when x=1 is 8 i.e 1,1,1,21,8

Similarly,

when x=2, number of integral points lying inside triangle is 7 i.e 2,1,2,12,7

Total number of integral points lying inside triangle are =8+7+6++1=8×92=36
