Detailed Solution

As we know in a polygon the number of non-overlapping triangles are two less than the number of sides of the polygon.
For example, in a hexagon six sides are there so the number of non-overlapping triangles is n-2=6-2=4 in the hexagon.
So, non-overlapping triangles we can make in an n-gon is n-2.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
