If in a regular polygon the number of diagonals is 5454, then the number of sides of this polygon is:

Options

  1. A1212
  2. B1010
  3. C66
  4. D99

Correct answer

A. 1212

Step-by-step solution

Number of diagonals of an ′n′′n′ sided polygon is

nC2−n=54{}^{n}{C}_{2}- n = 54

n(n−1)1.2−n=54\dfrac{n\left(n - 1\right)}{1.2} - n = 54

n2−n2−n=54\dfrac{{n}^{2} - n}{2} - n = 54

n2−3n=108{n}^{2} - 3n = 108

n2−3n−108=0{n}^{2} - 3n - 108 = 0

\left(n - 12\right)\left(n + 9\right) = 0<br/><br/><br /><br />n = 12
