उत्तर

For drawing one chord on a circle, only 2 points are required.

To know the number of chords that can be drawn through the given 21 points on a circle, the number of combinations have to be counted.

Therefore, there will be as many chords as there are combinations of 21 points taken 2 at a time.

Thus, required number of chords = 

= 21C2 = `(21!)/(2!(21 - 2)!) = (21!)/(2!19!)`

= `(21  xx  20)/(1  xx 2)`

= 210
