NIMCET | Reasoning | 2017The number of square in the following 4 × 6 grid is
Choose the correct answer:
- A.
36
- B.
44
- C.
50
(Correct Answer) - D.
54
50
Explanation
Formula to find the number of squares is:
4 × 6 is written as d_{2} × d_{1}
Formula:
d1−(n−1)×d2−(n−1)
n is the no of the box we are considering: 1 × 1 (n = 1)
2 × 2 (n = 2)
3 × 3 (n = 3)
4 × 4 (n = 4)
5 × 5 is not possible because there are only 4 rows.
1 × 1 (n = 1) putting in formula
6−(1−1)×4−(1−1);
6×4=24
Similarly,
2 × 2 (n = 2) putting in formula
6−(2−1)×4−(2−1);
5×3=15
and,
3×3 (n = 3) putting in formula
6−(3−1)×4−(3−1);
4×2=8
also,
4×4 (n = 4) putting in formula
6−(4−1)×4−(4−1);
3×1=3
Total number of square is 24 + 15 + 8 + 3 = 50
Hence, 50 is the number of square.
