There is a rectangular sheet of dimension `(2m-1)xx(2n-1)`, (where `m > 0, n > 0`) It has been divided into square of unit area by drawing line perpendicular to the sides. Find the number of rectangles having sides of odd unit length.

A

`(m+n+1)^(2)`

B

`mn(m+1)(n+1)`

C

`m^(m+n-2)`

D

`m^(2)n^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Along horizontal side one unit can be taken in `(2m-1)` ways and 3 unit side cann be taken in (2m-3) ways. The number of ways of selecting a side horizontally is
`(2m-1+2m-3+2m-5+ . . .+3+1)=(m)/(2)(2m-1+1)=m^(2)`

similarly, the numbe rof ways along vertical side is
`(2n-1+2n-3+ . .+5+3+1)=(n)/(2)(2n-1+1)=n^(2)`
`therefore`Total number of rectangles`=m^(2)n^(2)`.
