At the end of a banquet 10 people shake hands with each other. How many handshakes will there be in total?

D. 50
C. 45
B. 20
A. 100

• ans c 45
  because 1 person shakes hand with 9 other people
  2nd person shakes hand with 8 people (he cannot shake hand with himself and 1st person has already shaked hand with him so he will not shake hand with first person)similarly it will go on
  result 9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=45
