Detailed Solution

Number of points of intersections of n lines =nC2

Let N=nC2=n(n-1)2

By joining ‘N’ points we get NC2 straight lines. But since each line intersects other (n-1) lines.

n(n-1)C2 New lines are not possible.

Number of fresh lines=NC2-n(n-1)C2                       =N(N-1)2-n(n-1)(n-2)2                       =n(n-1)2n(n-1)2-12-n(n-1)(n-2)2                       =n(n-1)2n2-n-2-4n+84                       =n(n-1) (n2-5n+6)8                       =n(n-1) (n-2) (n-3)8
