Hi Alex!

This question has been posted and explained many times. If you do a search on "circle intersect triangle" you'll find a number of detailed solutions, many of which have very informative diagrams.

Happy hunting!

Which of the following lists the number of points at which a circle can intersect a triangle?

(A) 2 and 6 only
(B) 2, 4, and 6 only
(C) 1, 2, 3, and 6 only
(D) 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 only
(E) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6


So the question is basically asking that can all the six points on a circle intersect a triangle or no... Or a limited no. of points on the circle can intersect the triangle.

The attachment clearly shows that all the 6 points very comfortably can intersect the triangle.

There are many figures who are intersected at a specific number of points, and hence this question. No rocket science is asked here...

Hence the correct answer is E...

Hope this helps to understand.
