1) Given 10 points in a plane, 5 of which lie in the same straight line and no other group of 3 or more points can be drawn through by one straight line. Find the number of different triangles that can be formed by using the 10 points as vertices.

2) A transportation company has 8 lorries and 10 drivers available. When it receives 4 orders of one lorry each, how many different selections of lorries and drivers are there to meet the requests?

(1) Consider no three points are collinear, there are 10C3 triangles possible.
When 3 points are collinear, we cannot form a triangle. Since there are 5 points that are collinear, 5C3 should be removed from the calculation.
Number of triangles possible = 10C3 - 5C3 = 120 - 10 = 110
(2) There are 8C4 ways to select the lorries.
There are 10C4 ways to select the drivers.
Total possible ways is (8C4)(10C4) = (70)(210) = 14,700 lorry-driver combinations.
To match each of these lorry-driver combination with each of the orders, there are 4!*14700 = 352800 ways

1)

case 1.

2 points are chosen from the 5 points on the line.
1 point is chosen from other 5 points.

no. of triangles
= (5C2)x5
= [(5x4)/(2x1)]x5
= 50

case 2.

only 1 point is chosen from the 5 points on the line.

no. of triangles
= 5x(5C2)
= 50

case 3.

all 3 points are chosen from the 5 points not on the line.

no. of triangles
= (5C3)
= (5x4x3)/(3x2x1)
= 10

so, total no. of triangles can be drawn
= 50+50+10
= 110


2)

No. of ways to choose 4 lorries
= (8C4)
= (8x7x6x5)/(4x3x2x1)
= 70

No. of ways to choose 4 drivers
= (8C4)
= 70

No. of ways for drivers to choose their own car
= 4x3x2x1
= 24

so no. of selection ways
= 70x70x24
= 117600
