The number of line segments in the given figure A) 4 B) 5 C) 9 D)

1.	The number of line segments in the given figure A) 4 B) 5 C) 9 D) 10
Answer» Correct option is (D) 10 In given figure, AB, AC, AD, AE, BC, BD, BE, CD, CE and DE are line segments. \(\therefore\) Total line segments in the given figure = 10. Alternative :- There are 5 points on line in given figure. \(\because\) 2 points are required to form a line segment. \(\therefore\) Total number of line segments \(=\,^5C_2=\frac{5\times4}2=10\) Correct option is D) 10

The number of line segments in the given figure A) 4 B) 5 C) 9 D) 10

Answer»

Correct option is (D) 10

In given figure, AB, AC, AD, AE, BC, BD, BE, CD, CE and DE are line segments.

\(\therefore\) Total line segments in the given figure = 10.

Alternative :-

There are 5 points on line in given figure.

\(\because\) 2 points are required to form a line segment.

\(\therefore\) Total number of line segments \(=\,^5C_2=\frac{5\times4}2=10\)

Correct option is D) 10
