If the queen is at c5, and the other pieces at positions c2, g1, g3, g5 and a3, how many are under attack by the queen? There are no other pieces on the board.
Explanation:
In the diagram given above let Q represent the queen at cell C5. Now let us suppose pieces P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5 are at cells. C2, G1, G3, G5 and A3. As can seen that Q can attack P1 as they are is the same column and can attack P4 as both are in the same row. Further Q can attack P5 and P2 as both are in a diagonal position to Q. So it cannot be attacked by Q. So 4 pieces i.e., P1, P2, P4 and P5 can attacked by Q.
Hence, option (c).
