Question

There are 10 points in a plane of which 4 are collinear. How many different straight lines can be drawn by joining these points.

Advertisements

Solution

Number of straight lines formed joining the 10 points, taking 2 points at a time = 

\[{}^{10} C_2 = \frac{10}{2} \times \frac{9}{1} = 45\]
Number of straight lines formed joining the 4 points, taking 2 points at a time =\[{}^4 C_2 = \frac{4}{2} \times \frac{3}{1} = 6\]
But, when 4 collinear points are joined pair wise, they give only one line.
∴ Required number of straight lines =\[45 - 6 + 1 = 40\]
