There are 9 dots on the circle. What is the ratio of number of triangles to the number of pentagons that can be created by connecting the dots?
A. 1:1
B. 1:2
C. 1:3
D. 2:3
E. 1:4
Since none of the points are collinear. For triangle we have to choose \(3\) dots from the \(9\) dots .
This can be done in \({9_C}{_3} \) ways \(= 84\) ways .
For Pentagon we have to choose \(5\) dots from the \(9\) dots.
This can be done in \({9_C}{_5} \) ways \(= 126\) ways.
Required ratio \(= \frac{84}{126} = \frac{2}{3}\)
Ans D
Hope it helped.
