  • Question
  • The numbers of straight lines can be formed out of 10 points of which 7 are collinear?


  • Options
  • A. 26
  • B. 21
  • C. 25
  • D. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • 25 

    Explanation

    If there were no three points collinear. We should have 10C2 lines but since 7 points are collinear we must subtract 7C2 lines and add the one corresponding to the line of collinearity of the seven points.
    Thus, the required number of straight lines .
    = 10C2 - 7C2 + 1 = 25
