5! = 120

The formula to find number of diagonals (D) given total number of vertices or sides (N) is

N * (N – 3)

D = ———–

2

Using the formula, we get
1325 * 2 = N * (N – 3)
N2 – 3N – 2650 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation, we get N = 53 or -50

It is obvious that answer is 53 as number of vertices can not be negative.

Alternatively, you can derive the formula as triange has 0 diagonals, quadrangel has 2, pentagon has 5, hexagon has 9 and so on……

Hence the series is 0, 0, 0, 2, 5, 9, 14, …….. (as diagram with 1,2 or 3 vertices will have 0 diagonals).

Using the series one can arrive to the formula given above.

=36*84/ lcm
= 36 * 84 / (12 * 3 * 7 )
HCF= 12

GIVEN: 2A(B+C)+AC-2C(A-B)
THEREFORE 2AB+2AC+AC-2AC+2BC
2AB+AC+2BC
2(AB+BC)+AC
LET b1=AB b2=BC b3=AC
STEP1: b1 = b1+b2
so b1 = AB+BC
THEREFORE
NOW: b1 = AB+BC b2 = BC b3 = AC
STEP 2: b3 = b1+b3
so b3 = AB+BC+AC
THEREFORE
NOW: b1 = AB+BC b2 = BC b3 = AB+BC+AC
STEP3:
NOW: b1 = b1+b3
so b1 = AB+BC+AB+BC+AC
=2(AB+BC)+ AC
AB BC AC
STEP1 AB+BC BC AC
STEP2 AC BC AB+BC+AC
STEP3 AB+BC+AB+BC+AC BC AB+BC+AC
i.e 2(AB+BC)+AC BC AB+BC+AC
