The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
A combination of four vertices is equivalent to one interior points of intersection of diagonals.
$\therefore$ No. of interior points of intersection
$={ }^{n} C_{4}=70$
$\Rightarrow n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)=5.6 .7 .8$
$\therefore n =8$
So, number of diagonals $={ }^{8} C_{2}-8=20$
$\therefore$ No. of interior points of intersection
$={ }^{n} C_{4}=70$
$\Rightarrow n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)=5.6 .7 .8$
$\therefore n =8$
So, number of diagonals $={ }^{8} C_{2}-8=20$

Concepts Used:
Permutations
A permutation is an arrangement of multiple objects in a particular order taken a few or all at a time. The formula for permutation is as follows:
\(^nP_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\)
nPr = permutation
n = total number of objects
r = number of objects selected
Types of Permutation
- Permutation of n different things where repeating is not allowed
- Permutation of n different things where repeating is allowed
- Permutation of similar kinds or duplicate objects
