The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the total number of points of intersection formed by 37 straight lines in a plane, given specific conditions about the lines passing through points A and B. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - Total lines = 37 - Lines through point A = 13 - Lines through point B = 11 - No three lines intersect at a single point. - No line passes through both points A and B. - No two lines are parallel. 2. **Calculate the Number of Lines Not Passing Through A or B:** \[ \text{Lines not through A or B} = 37 - 13 - 11 = 13 \] Let’s denote these lines as N lines. 3. **Calculate the Intersections Between Lines Through A and B:** - Lines through A can intersect with lines through B. - The number of intersection points between lines through A and lines through B is given by: \[ \text{Intersections (A and B)} = 13 \times 11 = 143 \] 4. **Calculate the Intersections Between N Lines and Lines Through A and B:** - Each N line can intersect with each line through A and each line through B. - The number of intersection points between N lines and lines through A is: \[ \text{Intersections (N and A)} = 13 \times 13 = 169 \] - The number of intersection points between N lines and lines through B is: \[ \text{Intersections (N and B)} = 13 \times 11 = 143 \] 5. **Calculate Total Intersections from N Lines:** - The total intersections from N lines with A and B lines is: \[ \text{Total (N with A and B)} = 169 + 143 = 312 \] 6. **Calculate the Intersections Among N Lines:** - The number of intersection points among the N lines can be calculated using combinations: \[ \text{Intersections (N with N)} = \binom{13}{2} = \frac{13 \times 12}{2} = 78 \] 7. **Include Intersections Between A and B:** - The lines through points A and B also create an intersection point: \[ \text{Intersections (A and B)} = 2 \] 8. **Calculate the Total Number of Intersection Points:** - Now, we sum all the intersection points calculated: \[ \text{Total Intersections} = 143 + 312 + 78 + 2 = 535 \] ### Final Answer: The total number of points of intersection of the straight lines is **535**.

To solve the problem, we need to find the total number of points of intersection formed by 37 straight lines in a plane, given specific conditions about the lines passing through points A and B. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - Total lines = 37 - Lines through point A = 13 - Lines through point B = 11 ...
