    If 6 points out of 10 points are collinear, then number of triangles made by using these 10 points is

    A)  100              

    B)  16

    C)  12               

    D)  14

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Number of triangles made by 10 points\[{{=}^{10}}{{C}_{3}}\] but 6 points are collinear \[\therefore \]Required number of triangles \[{{=}^{10}}{{C}_{3}}{{-}^{6}}{{C}_{3}}\] \[=\frac{1C\times 9\times 8}{3\times 2\times 1}-\frac{6\times 5\times 4}{3\times 2\times 1}\] \[=10\times 3\times 4-2\times 5\times 2\] \[=120-20\] \[=100\]
