In a plane there two families of lines : y=x+r, y=-x+r, where `r in {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}.` The number of the squares of the diagonal of length 2 formed by these lines is____.

A

9

B

16

C

`(3)/(2)*.^(4)C_(2)`

D

`5_(C_(2))+.^(3)P_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C
There are two sets of five parallel lines at equal distance. Clearly, lines like `l_(1),l_(3),m_(1) and m_(3)` form a square whose diagonal's length is 2.

`therefore`Number of required squares`=3xx3=9=(3)/(2)*.^(4)C_(2)`
[`because` are `(l_(1),l_(2)),(l_(2),l_(4)) and (l_(3),l_(5))` for one set, etc.]
