Detailed Solution

Given,
To find the number of diagonal in a pentagon.
We know that,
Number of diagonals of a n-sided polygon = n(n3) 2  , where, n is the number of sides of a given polygon.
The number of sides of pentagon, n = 5.
Substituting the number of sides,
= n(n3) 2   = 5(53) 2   = 5×2 2 = 10 2 =5   Hence, the number of diagonals in a pentagon is 5.
Therefore, option 1 is correct.
