The solution is pretty simple - 12C3 - 3C3 - 4C3 - 5C3 .

The question says that the points are on the sides .

So we choose any three points arbitrarily, and then remove those cases where all the points are from the same side.

I think they tried to over-justify it and ended up doing the opposite. [3]
