Given Figure:

qImage6870999616380ec9a3bbeffe

Now,

Counting the figure separately:

1. Counting the numbers of triangles.

F1 Prashant K 8.2.21 Pallavi D3

The above figure has three triangles. There are three similar figures in the given figure.

So, the below figure has a triangle

F1 Prashant K 8.2.21 Pallavi D4

3 × 3 = 9

Now, after completing the figures as per the question we will count the number of triangles that are made on the edges and a Merging triangle as shown below:

F1 Prashant K 8.2.21 Pallavi D5

There are 4 triangles on the edges as shown above and Two triangles that are TriAOB and TriCOD which are merging triangle.

So, we can say number of traingle = 4 + 2 = 6.

There are two more small similar triangles 

F1 Prashant K 8.2.21 Pallavi D6

so triangle in these will be

3 × 2 = 6 

Thus, the total no of triangle = 9 + 6 + 6 = 21

Hence, the correct answer is "21".
