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.

if A is true B has to be true

Prob(choosing two people who are a couple from 6 couples) = 1/6
We have 5 couple left (10 people)
Prob(choosing a person A from 10 people) = 1/10
Prob(choosing 1 person who is not a couple of A) = 1/8

Prob(choosing 4 people that has exactly one couple) = 1/6*1/8*1/10 = 0.0021
