MCQ
How many different (mutually non-congruent) trapeziums can be constructed using four distinct side lengths from the set $\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$ ?
  • A
    $5$
  • $11$
  • C
    $15$
  • D
    $30$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$11$
b
(b)

Length of sides of trapezium from $\{1,2,3$, $4,5,6\}$.

From non-congruent trapezium

$|a-c| < b+d < a+c$

Possible combination are

$(r, p),(s, q) \equiv\{(5,6),(1,3)\},\{(5,6),(2,4)\}$

$\{(5,6),(1,4)\},\{(5,6),(3,4)\},\{(6,4),(1,3)\}$,

$\{(6,4),(1,5)\},\{(6,4),(2,3)\},\{(6,4),(3,5)\}$

$\{(4,5),(1,3)\}\{(4,5),(1,6)\}\{(4,5),(2,6)\}$

Total $11$ combination is possible.
