Q43 / 68 · NEST (NISER) 2023 (Session 1) · Mathematics

Let $n \geq 3$ be an integer. Let $P_1, P_2, \ldots, P_{2 n}$ be points in the plane, which are the vertices of a regular $2 n$-gon. The number of obtuse-angled triangles with vertices contained in the set $\left\{P_1, P_2, \ldots, P_{2 n}\right\}$ is

  • Correct answer
    A
    $n(n-1)(n-2)$
  • B
    $\frac{n^2(n-1)(n-2)}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{n(n-1)^2}{2}$
  • D
    $2 n(2 n-1)(2 n-2)$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
