      Question

      A total of 24 points are given on a plane, out of which

      10 are collinear. How many distinct straight lines can be formed using these points?
      A 276 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 231 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 233 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 232 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Lines formed from 24 points = 24C2 = (24 Γ— 23)/2 = 12 Γ— 23 = 276

      But the lines drawn with 10 collinear points will be same and it will be considered as single line.

      So, lines formed from 10 collinear points = 10C2 = (10 Γ— 9)/2 = 45

      Desired number of straight lines that can be formed = 276 – 45 + 1 = 232
