    There are 16 points in a plane, out of which 6 points are collinear. Then, how many straight lines can be drawn using these lines.

    A)  106             

    B)  105

    C)  60               

    D)  55

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Required number of lines = (number of lines made by 16 points) - (number of lines made by 6 collinear points) + 1 \[{{=}^{16}}{{C}_{2}}{{-}^{6}}{{C}_{2}}+1\] \[=\frac{16\times 15}{2\times 1}-\frac{6\times 5}{2\times 1}+1\] \[=120-15+1\] \[=106\]
