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.

@Amar EF are already on AB. So we can't consider that as line.

How can you consider IE and KF as straight lines?

@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.

@Suresh.
We are asked to count minimum so we can just take it on AB.

Why did we not consider EF as horizontal?

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

If we are taking minimum lines. Then why we consider DE as slanting line. DH was enough.

Why did not you take HM and MG?
