Q. 19
Mark the correct alternative in the following:
Given 11 points, of which 5 lie on one circle, other than these 5, no 4 lie on one circle. Then the number of circles that can be drawn so that each contains at least 3 of the given point is
A. 216
B. 156
C. 172
D. none of these
Answer :
We need at least three points to draw a circle that passes through them.
Now, number of circles formed out of 11 points by taking three points at a time = 11C3
= 165
Number of circles formed out of 5 points by taking three points at a time = 5C3
= 10
It is given that 5 points lie on once circle.
Required number of circles =
165 – 10 + 1
= 156
