Seven people come to a party and shakes hands with each other if each person shakes the hand of every other person how many hand shakes occur?
If there are seven people, then the number of handshakes is 7*6/2 = 21
If each OF seven persons in a group shakes hands with each of the other six persons then a total of forty two handshakes occurs?
The correct answer is 21. The first person shakes hands with the other 6 people. The second person shakes hands with 5 people because they already shook hands with the first person. The third person shakes hands with 4 people because they already shook hands with the first and second person. The fourth person shakes hands with 3 people because they already shook hands with the first, second, and third. The fifth person shakes hands with 2 people because they already shook hands with the first, second, third, and fourth person. The sixth person shakes hands with the seventh person because the rest have already shaken hands with them. The seventh person doesn't have anyone else to shake hands with. So the total would be 21...

In a room there are N number of people if everyone shakes hands how many handshakes are made?
Depends what you mean, if you mean if everyone shakes hands just once then N-1 handshakes are made. If you mean if everyone shakes hands with everyone else then the answer is (N-1)+(N-2)+....+2+1 (we dont include N as they're not going to shake their own hand, obviously) written as Σn-1i=1 i, this is a arithmetic progression and so the total number of handshakes will be equal to (1+(n-1))(n-1)/2
How many people are there if everyone shakes hands and there are 66 handshakes?
Assuming that each person shakes hands with every other person, there are 12 people. Let n be the number of people. Then each person shakes hands with (n-1) people and if you ask every person how many hand shakes they made and total them you will get a total of n(n-1) handshakes. However, each handshake involves two people and has been counted twice - once by each person that shook hands - thus number of hand shakes is half of this, giving: n(n-1)/2 = 66 ⇒ n(n-1) = 132 ⇒ n2 - n - 132 = 0 ⇒ (n - 12)(n + 11) = 0 ⇒ n = 12 or -11 You can't have -11 people, therefore there are 12 people.
