There are 70 points in a plane, no three of which are in the same straight line with the exception of 20 points, which are all in same straight line; find the number of triangles joining these straight lines.

Ans to follow, if possible give a general formula or little detail
Charged up again to beat the beast :)

"find the number of triangles joining these straight lines"????

what do u mean by this?..which straight lines?...

U r question itself is ambiguous.

from the way I deciphered the answer is 34000

is it (70C2-20C2+1)C3 ? (since question asks how many triangles out of straight lines)

I go with 9500.

for the 20 points in straight line it 20C2, multiplied by 50 for the rest of the points not in the straight line.

so 20C2 * 50 = 9500.

Please post the answer and your logic.
