Detailed Solution

We have, in all 12 points. Since 3 points are used to form a triangle, therefore the total number of triangles,

including the triangles formed by collinear points on AB, BC and CA, is  12C3=220.

But, this includes the following:

The number of triangles formed by 3 points on AB 

=3C3=1,

The number of triangles formed by 4 points BC

=4C3=4,

The number of triangles formed by 5 points on CA

=5C3=10,

Hence, p· :• ,:,  number of triangles =220(10+4+1)=205.
