Correct answer is B
The figure may be labelled as shown.
The simplest ||gms are ABFE, BCGF, CDHG, EFJI, FGKJ and GHLK. These are 6 in number.
The parallelograms composed of two components each are ACGE, BDHF, EGKI, FHLJ, ABJI, BCKJ and CDLK. Thus, there are 7 such parallelograms.
The parallelograms composed of three components each are ADHE and EHLI i.e. 2 in number.
The parallelograms composed of four components each are ACKI and BDLJ i.e. 2 in number
There is only one parallelogram composed of six components, namely ADLI.
Thus, there are 6 + 7 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 18 parallelograms in the figure.

Correct answer is A
The figure may be labelled as shown.
The regions A, C, E and G can have the same colour say colour 1.
The regions B, D, F and H can have the same colour (but different from colour 1) say colour 2.
The region 1 lies adjacent to each one of the regions A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H and therefore it should have a different colour say colour 3.
The regions J, L and N can have the same colour (different from colour 3) say colour 1.
The regions K, M and O can have the same colour (different fromthe colours 1 and 3). Thus, these regions will have colour 2.
The region P cannot have any of the colours 1 and 2 as it lies adjacent to each one of the regions J, K, L, M, N and O and so it will have colour 3.
The region Q can have any of the colours 1 or 2.
Minimum number of colours required is 3.

Correct answer is D
The figure may be labelled as shown.
The spaces P, Q and R have to be shaded by three different colours definitely (since each of these three spaces lies adjacent to the other two).
Now, in order that no two adjacent spaces be shaded by the same colour, the spaces T, U and S must be shaded with the colours of the spaces P, Q and R respectively.
Also the spaces X, V and W must be shaded with the colours of the spaces S, T and U respectively i.e. with the colours of the spaces R, P and Q respectively. Thus, minimum three colours are required.
