From (10) equally spaced points on a circle, (3) points are to be chosen so that no two chosen points are adjacent. How many selections are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 50

For choosing \(r\) non-adjacent points from \(n\) points arranged on a circle, the count is \(\frac{n}{n-r}\binom{n-r}{r}\). Thus, \(\frac{10}{10-3}\binom{7}{3}=\frac{10}{7}\times35=50\). Hence, option C is correct. A value such as 42 can result from treating the arrangement as linear or from incomplete counting, but on a circle the first and last points are also adjacent. Exam tip: always account for the adjacency of the first and last positions in circular arrangements.
