Let `ngeq2` be integer. Take `n` distinct points on a circle and join each pair of points by a line segment. Color the line segment joining every pair of adjacent points by blue and the rest by red. If the number of red and blue line segments are equal, then the value of `n` is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Number of adjacent lines=n
Number of non-adjacent lines`=.^(n)C_(2)-n=(n(n-3))/(2)`
`therefore (n(n-3))/(2)=n implies(n(n-5))/(2)=0 impliesn=0` or 5
but `2 ge 2 impliesn=5`
