Q:

How many lines can you draw using 3 non collinear (not in a single line) points A, B and C on a plane?

A) 3 B) 6
C) 2 D) 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 3

Explanation:

You need two points to draw a line. The order is not important. Line AB is the same as line BA. The problem is to select 2 points out of 3 to draw different lines. If we proceed as we did with permutations, we get the following pairs of points to draw lines.

 

AB , AC

 

BA , BC

 

CA , CB

 

There is a problem: line AB is the same as line BA, same for lines AC and CA and BC and CB.

 

The lines are: AB, BC and AC ; 3 lines only.

 

So in fact we can draw 3 lines and not 6 and that's because in this problem the order of the points A, B and C is not important.
