Question

How many triangles can be obtained by joining 12 points, five of which are collinear?

✓

Answer

We have, Since 5 out of 12 points are collinear, So the number of triangle will be, $={^{12}{\text{C}}}_{\text{3}}-{^{5}{\text{C}}}_{\text{3}}$ $=\frac{12!}{3!9!}-\frac{5!}{3!2!}$ $=\frac{12\times11\times10}{3\times2}-\frac{5\times4}{2}$ $=220-10$ $=210$
