If `20` lines are drawn in a plane such that no two of them are parallel and so three are concurrent, in how many points will they intersect each other?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It is given that no two lines are parallel means all line are intersecting and no three lines are concurrent means three lines intersect at a point.
`therefore` Number of point of intersection `=""^(20)C_(2) = (20"!")/(2"!" 18"!") = (20 xx 19 xx 18"!")/(2 xx 1 xx 18"!")`
`= (20 xx 19)/(2) = 19 xx 10 = 190`
