Sachin Grover  (10 years ago)

answer = n(n-1)/2
Explain:- Suppose there are 6 people and the have to shake with every other person so to shake hand we need two hands. 1st hand is selected in 6 way and 2nd hand is selected in 5 ways. so 6*5 ways=30 ways but there is overcounting because hand shake of Sachin and rahul is same as shake hand of Rahul and Sachin so divide by 2!. therefore answer is n(n-1)/2 i.e. (6*5)/2=15 in this case.
