At the end of a banquet 10 people shake hands with each other. How many handshakes will there be in total?
- A.
100
- B.
20
- C.
45
- D.
50
- E.
90
Correct Answer
C. 45Explanation
In this scenario, each person shakes hands with 9 other people (since they cannot shake hands with themselves). Since there are 10 people in total, we can calculate the number of handshakes by multiplying 10 by 9, which equals 90. However, we have to divide this number by 2 to avoid counting each handshake twice (since shaking hands is a mutual action). Therefore, the total number of handshakes will be 45.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. 21Explanation
The series follows a pattern where each number is obtained by adding the next consecutive number. Starting with 1, we add 2 to get 3, then add 3 to get 6, and so on. Therefore, the next number in the series should be obtained by adding 5 to 15, which gives us 20. However, none of the given options match this pattern. Therefore, the correct answer is not available.Rate this question:
