Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 43

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If there are \(m\) points in which \(n\) points are collinear \((m \geq n)\) then number of different straight line are \({ }^m C_2-{ }^n C_2+1\) \(\Rightarrow{ }^{10} C_2-{ }^3 C_2+1=\frac{10 \times 9}{2}-3+1=45-3+1=43\)
