उत्तर

Number given points on the circle = 20

A chord is obtained by joining any two points on the circle.

‘Number of chords drawn through 20 points is same as the number of ways of selecting 2 points out of 20 points.

This can be done 20C2 ways.

∴ The total number of chords = 20C

= `(20!)/(2!(20 - 2)!)`

= `(20!)/(2!  8!)`

= `(20 xx 19 xx 18!)/(2 xx 1 xx 18!)`

= 10 × 19

= 190
