Total number of squares on a chessboard are 64 i.e 8*8

Number of ways we can choose 3 squares = 64C3

number of ways we can choose 3 squares so that they are in the same column is 8C3 * 8 * 3! =48 * 8C3

number of ways we can choose 3 squares in same row = 48 * 8C3

number of ways we can choose 3 squares in same diagonal = 8*8C3

so number of ways we can choose 3 squares so that they are not in the same row or column or diagnal is 64C3 - 48*8C3 - 48*8C3 - 8*8C3
