Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1568

First square can be selected in 64 ways. Second square can be selected in 65-15=49 ways.
But when first square, say c3 is selected, sometimes g5 is selected as second square.
Similary, when first square, say g5 is selected, sometimes c3 is selected as second square. Thus, each paris is selected twice. So, the total number of ways is `64xx49//2=1568`
