Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 8 Given: There are 24 equally spaced points lying on the circumference of a circle Calculation: ⇒ The complete circle = 360° ⇒ Each of 24 points subtends an angle at the centre of the circle = 360/24 = 15° ⇒ Two consecutive vertices of an equilateral triangle an angle of 120° at the center ⇒ The number of possible equilateral triangle = 120/15 = 8 ∴ The required result will be 8. |
