How many handshakes will there be in total if 10 people shake hands with each other?

"Each other" leaves this very open-ended; that depends on if A shakes with B or A shakes with B & C, OR if A shakes with all the other nine, etc. I would say the answer would have to be one of two: 10 or 100. If each person chooses only one to shake with, it would be ten. IF each person shakes with everyone there, all ten, it would be 100. Since this question is pretty vague, Some people may come to the conclusion that the answer is Either 90 assuming everybody stayed to shake hands with each other meaning the first person shook hands with 9 people and the 2nd person did the same etc etc bringing it to the conclusion that you got 90 handshakes. Another answer towards for people would be 45 being that the first person gave a hand shake to 9 people and then left and then the 2nd person gave a handshake to 8 people n then left etc and etc making it 9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=45. A very simple formula can be applied here. no. of handshakes= (n(n-1))/2 where n is the no.of people present Another conclusion i think the answer is, is the simplest conclusion you can come up with; at the end of the banquet 10 people shake hands with each other so how many handshakes were passed on? 5 hand shakes were given cause that way 10 people did give a hand shakes and since it takes 2 to give out a handshake 5 hand shakes were given. The phrase "Each other" is inclusive, meaning that every person shakes the hand of every other person at the end of the banquet. And since the handshakes that occur when person 1 shakes person 2's hand and vice versa, are the same handshake, those handshakes only count as one entire handshake. This holds true with every other handshake between every other person at the banquet. With this is mind, there will be 45 handshakes since person 1 will shake 9 other people' hands, then person 2 will shake 8 other people's hands, and so on. It would look like this on paper: 9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=45. Each of the 10 people shakes hands with 9 others. If you multiply that, you are counting each handshake double. Therefore, the calculation is 10 x 9 / 2.


At the end of a banquet 5 people shake hands with each other How many handshakes will there be in total?

Each person shakes hands with every other person at the end of the banquet. When person 1 shakes hands with person 2 that constitutes one handshake even though 2 people are involved. So the answer is 10 total handshakes because the 1st person will have 4 total handshakes(because he can't shake hands with himself, he has 4 and not 5 total handshakes), and then the 2nd person will have 3 total handshakes (you wouldn't say 4 handshakes because you've already included the handshake between person 1 & person 2 when calculating the first person's number of shakes) and so on for the remaining 3 people. On paper the math would look like this: 4+3+2+1=10 Alternatively: Each person shakes hands with 4 others so the answer looks like 5x4 = 20; However, in Fred shaking with 4 others, he shakes with Charlie, similarly, in Charlie shaking with 4 others he shakes with Fred. Thus the Fred-Charlie handshake has been counted twice (once by Fred, once by Charlie), as have all the handshakes, thus the answer is: 5x4 / 2 = 10.
