Assume ABC with sides AB = 7, BC = 6, CA = 5. D is A
a point which is at a distance x, y, z units from A, B, C
respectively. 7 x 5
In ADB

2yz 2 2
 BDC = 120
Similarly, ADC = 150
Now, Area of ABC = Area of ADB + Area of BDC + Area of ADC

 Area of ABC = x y + y z sin (120 ) + z x sin (150 )

If N rooks are placed on any N unit squares and we want to select 7 rooks such that they are non-
attacking, then we must select 7 unit squares from 7 different rows and 7 different columns.
 For minimum value of N we must fill 73 unit squares so that we get atleast one rook from 7
different rows and 7 different columns.
Because if I take N = 72, then these 72 rooks can be placed in 12 rows and 6 columns. Hence we
can’t select 7 rooks from 7 different columns.
 73
