Solution

The correct option is D Total quadrilaterals that can be formed using these points are 1490
Total straight lines that can be formed from 16 points =16C2
Since total points are 16, but 6 are collinear and other 5 are also collinear,
Required number of ways =16C26C25C2+1+1=97
(two lines will be obtained from collinear points)

Total triangles that can be formed from 16 points =16C3
Since total points are 16, but 6 are collinear and other 5 are also collinear,
Required number of ways =16C36C35C3=530

Total circles that can be formed from 16 points =16C3
Since total points are 16, but 6 are collinear and other 5 are also collinear,
Required number of ways =16C36C35C3=530

Total quadrilaterals that can be formed from 16 points =16C4
Total points are 16, but 6 are collinear and other 5 are also collinear,
Also, for making quadrilaterals three collinear points can't be taken.
Required number of ways =16C46C45C46C3×10C15C3× 11C1=1490
