If there are 10 people in a room. Everyone shakes handes with each other . How many total hand shakes will be there ? |
Answer» ★Given :★To find :
★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. ____________ |
