  4. D 38
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 35

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The number of segments obtained by joining n vertices of a n-sided polygon will be C2n out of which n will be the sides of the polygon. So, the number of diagonals will be C2n-n. i.e. C2n-n=560 ⇒nn-12-n=560⇒n2-3n-1120=0 ⇒n+32n-35=0 Hence, n=35
