Detailed Solution

Let A1, A2.....A2n be the vertices of regular polygon of of n sides now select A1 and the remaining vertices from the right hand side i.e (n–1)C2
Similarly on the left hand side also (circum centre always lies out side the obtuse triangle) So required probability
2×2n×(n1)C222nC3(here 2n is oven) or when n is odd
2n12C2n2 nC3
