In a convex hexagon two diagonals are drawn at random. The probability that the diagonals intersect at an interior point of the hexagon isA. `5//12`B. `7//12`C. `2//5`D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
We have,
Number of diagonals of a hexagon `- .^(6)C_(2)-6=9`
Number of ways of selecting two diagonals `= .^(9)C_(2)=36`
Number of ways of selecting two intersecting diagonals
= Number of ways of selecting four vertices of the hexagon
`=.^(6)C_(4)=15`
Hence, required probability `=(15)/(36)=(5)/(12)`
