Note: Capital C and small c has been  used for same quantity( the greatest  side of the triangle(fix) ) in the question.  Which create confusion.  Given:  ^• For the triangle,whose sides are a,b,c  (i)c∈O^+ and fixed.(ii)a≤b≤c  (iii) b=a≠c ∣ b=c≠a ∣ a=b=c    The triangle may be  of following type:  (a,a,c)  or  (a,c,c) or  (c,c,c)    (a,a,c): a<c   ∧   2a>c                 a≤c−1   ∧   2a≥c+1⇒a≥((c+1)/2)                        ((c+1)/2)≤a≤c−1  a takes value from ((c+1)/2) to c−1 inclusive  ∴ a takes values (c−1)−(((c+1)/2))+1=((c−1)/2)  ∴ Number of (a,a,c) type  triangles=((c−1)/2)    (a,c,c): a<c  ∧  a<2c     ⇒ a<c⇒a≤c−1  a is upto c−1 ⇒ c−1  triangles                              (c,c,c) : c is fixed(only 1 value)                   1 triangle    Total triangles =(((c−1)/2))+(c−1)+1                                    =((3c−1)/2)

It is just a coaching material and not any standard book �� And not all the questions are interesting, being some too easy while some too hard ��
