In a square of side (x+y+z), how many times will rectangles of area xy appear?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Twice

The correct answer is B. Divide the square with side x+y+z into strips labelled x, y, and z along both directions. The region formed by an x strip crossing a y strip has area xy. There are two such crossings: the x-by-y region and the y-by-x region. Although their numerical areas are equal, they are two distinct rectangles in the visual model. Thus the total contribution of the xy pair is xy+xy=2xy. Option A counts only one orientation and misses the second rectangle. Option C incorrectly counts the z strip as another xy region. Option D has no matching pair of x and y strips. The full identity is (x+y+z)^2=x^2+y^2+z^2+2xy+2yz+2zx, so every different pair contributes twice.
