AMC12 2025 A · Q18. It mainly tests Basic counting (rules of product/sum), Casework.

How many ordered triples $(x, y, z)$ of different positive integers less than or equal to $8$ satisfy $xy > z$, $xz > y$, and $yz > x$?
有多少个不同的正整数有序三元组 $(x, y, z)$(每个不超过 $8$)满足 $xy > z$,$xz > y$,$yz > x$?
(A) 36 36
(B) 84 84
(C) 186 186
(D) 336 336
(E) 486 486
Answer
Correct choice: (C)
正确答案:(C)
Solution
Let $0<x<y<z \le 8$; $x$ cannot be $1$ because it makes $xy>z$ $\rightarrow$ $y>z$; $x=2$, $y=3$, $z$ can be $4$, $5$ but not others; $x=2$, $y=4$, $z$ can be $5$, $6$, $7$; $x=2$, $y=5$, $z$ can be $6$, $7$, $8$; $x=2$, $y=6$, $z$ can be $7$, $8$; $x=2$, $y=7$, $z$ can be $8$; for $x=2$, total $11$ cases; Similarly, for $x=3$, $y=4$, $5$, $6$, $7$, total $10$ cases; for $x=4$, $y=5$, $6$, $7$, total $6$ cases; $x=5$, $y=6$, $7$, $3$ cases; $x=6$, $y=7$, $z=8$, $1$ cases; Total $= 11 + 10 + 6 + 3 + 1 = 31$. Permutate $x$, $y$, $z$ for ordered triple, it is $31 \cdot 6=186$, $\boxed{C}$.
设 $0<x<y<z \le 8$; $x$ 不能为 $1$,因为 $xy>z$ 推出 $y>z$; $x=2$,$y=3$,$z$ 可为 $4,5$; $x=2$,$y=4$,$z$ 可为 $5,6,7$; $x=2$,$y=5$,$z$ 可为 $6,7,8$; $x=2$,$y=6$,$z$ 可为 $7,8$; $x=2$,$y=7$,$z=8$; $x=2$ 时共 $11$ 种; 类似地,$x=3$,$y=4,5,6,7$,共 $10$ 种;$x=4$,$y=5,6,7$,共 $6$ 种;$x=5$,$y=6,7$,$3$ 种;$x=6$,$y=7$,$z=8$,$1$ 种; 总计 $= 11 + 10 + 6 + 3 + 1 = 31$。对有序三元组排列 $x,y,z$,得 $31 \cdot 6=186$,$\boxed{C}$。
