Answer 1

(2HL,100VL), (100HL,2VL), (4HL,50VL), (50HL,4VL), (5HL,40VL),(40HL,5VL),(10HL,20VL), (20HL,10VL)

Explanation:

Number of meeting points = number of horizontal lines x number of vertical lines

Example, Given case : 2 horizontal lines x 3 vertical lines = 6 meeting points

So, 200 points can be got by number combinations having product = 200. Like : (2HL,100VL), (100HL,2VL), (4HL,50VL), (50HL,4VL), (5HL,40VL),(40HL,5VL),(10HL,20VL), (20HL,10VL)

*HL refers to horizontal lines,VL refers to vertical lines
