The correct Answer is:
To find the number of intersection points formed by 25 lines drawn in a plane, where no two lines are parallel and no three lines are concurrent, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Problem We have 25 lines, and we need to determine how many unique intersection points can be formed. Since no two lines are parallel, every pair of lines will intersect at a unique point. Additionally, since no three lines are concurrent, each intersection point will be formed by exactly two lines. ### Step 2: Choosing Pairs of Lines To find the number of intersection points, we need to calculate how many ways we can choose 2 lines from the 25 lines. The formula for choosing 2 items from n items is given by the combination formula: \[ \binom{n}{r} = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} \] In our case, \( n = 25 \) and \( r = 2 \). ### Step 3: Applying the Combination Formula Substituting the values into the combination formula: \[ \binom{25}{2} = \frac{25!}{2!(25-2)!} = \frac{25!}{2! \cdot 23!} \] ### Step 4: Simplifying the Expression We can simplify this expression: \[ \binom{25}{2} = \frac{25 \times 24}{2 \times 1} = \frac{600}{2} = 300 \] ### Step 5: Conclusion Thus, the number of intersection points formed by the 25 lines is: \[ \text{Number of intersection points} = 300 \] ### Final Answer The number of points in which these lines intersect is **300**. ---
