Find the minimum number of straight lines required to make the given figure.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The figure may be labelled as shown.
The horizontal lines are IK, AB, HG and DC i.e. 4 in number.
The vertical lines are AD, EH, JM, FG and BC i.e. 5 in number.
The slanting lines are IE, JE, JF, KF, DE, DH, FC and GC i.e. 8 is number.
Thus, there are 4 + 5 + 8 = 17 straight lines in the figure.

Two squares are having 1 line common, so a total of 7 lines form the two squares.
There are two big triangles above the squares having 1 line common that adds up to 5 lines.
There is 1 line in between the triangles, which is common to the small square.
At last, there are two triangles from the small square. that makes 4 lines
7 + 5 + 1 + 4 = 17.

@Shreya.
First find out simple horizontal lines which can be IK, HG, AB & DC.
Now cross those out if your doing this on a paper.
Now keep finding vertical and slanting.
Then simply add all the lines you got together.

@Suresh EL and LF are on AB so AB alone is sufficient to draw the givendiagram
@Sharmie any line joining two point is a straight line.

They have not asked us to count line segments. They have asked us to find out minimum number of straight lines required to make figure.

Horizontal lines+ vertical lines+ inclined lines = total no of lines .
H -> 4
V -> 5
I -> 8
So, 17 is the answer.
H -> 4
V -> 5
I -> 8
So, 17 is the answer.

Why did not you consider as the EL and LF are consider as lines?
Why did not you take the EF as straight lines?

@Tusar.
Stated as rohit and Rakesh, We can take minimum Qty of line. Since Ef on AB, AB is sufficient.

When I count the total number of lines I got a total 24.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Best way is to draw the figure then itself, it will be easy to find rather than numbering.

EF is a horizontal line so why it does not count? If it includes the answer is 5+5+8=18.
