Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 12

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because\) Number of diagonal in \(n\)-sided polygon \(\begin{array}{ll} & =\frac{n(n-3)}{2} \\ \Rightarrow \quad & \frac{n(n-3)}{2}=54 \\ & n^2-3 n=108 \\ & n^2-3 n-108=0 \\ \therefore \quad & n=12 \text { or } n=-9 \end{array}\)
