  3. c.

    8

    Correct answer
  4. d.

    12

Explanation

According to a property of circles, angle subtended at centre is double than that at the circumference. So, we need 60° (for condition of equilateral triangles) So, we need 120° at centre. According to symmetry, we can get 24/[(360)/120] = 8 equilateral triangles.
