Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 3 : 54

Concept:

Number of diagonals on an n sided polygon = \(\frac{n(n-3)}{2}\)

Calculation:

Given that,

n= 12

By using the  above formula,

⇒ Number of diagonal = \(\frac{12(12-3)}{2}\) = 54

∴ The number of diagonal is 51

The number of ways to select r things out of n things is given by nCr

\(\rm ^nC_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!\times(r)!}=\frac{n\times(n-1)\times....(n-r+1)}{r!}\)
