There are 10 points in a plane, out of these 6 are collinear. If \(N\) is the total number of triangles formed by joining these points, then \(N=\)

  1. A \(120\)
  2. B \(850\)
  3. C \(100\)
  4. D \(150\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(100\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If all 10 points are collinear, then number of triangles formed \({ }^{10} C_3=\frac{10 !}{3 ! 7 !}=\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8}{3 \times 2}=120\) Triangles formed using 6 collinear points \({ }^6 C_3=20\) Therefore, required number of triangles \(120-20=100\)
