We know that join of any two points gives a line.
The number of lines obtained from 10 points, no three of 
which are collinear =10C2=10×92×1=45
Lines obtained from 4 points =4C2=4×32×1=6
∴ Number of lines lost due to 4 collinear points= 6 – 1 = 5
∴ Required number of lines = 45 – 5 = 40.
Also, We know that any triangle can be obtained by joining 
any three points not in the same straight line.
∴ Number of triangles obtained from 10 points, no three 
of which are collinear =10C3=10×9×83×2×1=120
Triangle obtained from 4 points =4C3=4
∴ Number of triangles lost due to 4 collinear points = 4.
∴ Required number of triangles = 120 – 4 = 116.
