Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 968

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Number of points \(N = 10\). Polygons of 3 or more sides = \( \sum_{k=3}^{10} \binom{10}{k} \). \( \sum_{k=0}^{10} \binom{10}{k} = 2^{10} \). \( \sum_{k=3}^{10} \binom{10}{k} = \sum_{k=0}^{10} \binom{10}{k} - \left( \binom{10}{0} + \binom{10}{1} + \binom{10}{2} \right) \).…
