(Q). Consider a square along with its 2 diagonal. How many triangle is formed by this system?
Solution:-

total vertices i.e. total points = 5
∴ if no three point would have collinear then number of triangle = ⁵C₃
Since there are 2 sets of three collinear points 
hence required number = ⁵C₃ – 2׳C₃
                                            = 10 – 2
                                            = 8       Answer
