Question 922345: In how many ways is it possible to choose a white square and a black square on a chess board so that the squares must not lie in the same row or column?? Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 32 white squares we can choose. For each white square, there are 4+4 = 8 black squares that lie in the same row or column, so 24 black squares do not lie in the same row or column. 32*24 = 768
