Answer»

★Given :

  • Total no.of.people in the ROOM = 10 people.
  • Everyone shakes HANDES with each other.

★To find :

  • How many total hand shakes will be there ? ​

★Solution :

Concept ::

Suppose there are 'n' no of people,each of the n people can shake hands with n - 1 people.

And they WOULD not shake their own hand.

The handshake between two people is not counted twice.

Therefore,

→No.of.handshakes = n×(n - 1)/2.

Given that there are 10 people in the room.Therefore,here the value of n is 10.Putting values in the above formula,

No of handshakes = n×(n - 1)/2

→10(10-1)/2

→ 10(9)/2  

→90/2

45.

Therefore,there are 45 handshakes in total.
