Seven people meet and shake hands with one anotherHow many handshakes occur?
The first person can be selected in one of seven ways. Having selected him, the second can be selected from the remaining six in six ways. So there would appear to be 7*6 ways of selecting the couples shaking hands. But, x shaking y's hand is the same handshake as y shaking x's hand. Thus each handshake is conted twice, So the total number of handshakes is 7*6/2 = 21
Seven people shake hands once how many times do they shake hands?
For everyone to shake hands with everyone else, there are 21 handshakes. (below copied from my answer of a similar question) This is an arithmetic progression and can be solved with the equation Sn=(1+(n-1))(n-1)/2 where Sn is the total sum of handshakes for n people. NB: I have used n-1 instead of n in the equation for the sum of an arithmetic progression, because you're not really going to shake hands with yourself, so you don't include the nth term, in this case 7. Alternatively, you can solve this geometrically by drawing a heptagon, drawing lines between all the vertices, and then adding all the lines up.

How many handshakes if 25 people shake hands with every other person in room?
Each person will shake hands with every other person, except himself. If there are 25 people, each person will shake hands with 25-1 people, or 24. The number of times each person will shake hands with another, will be 25x24. The number of handshakes will be half of that, as each handshake is between two persons. The formula, in other words, is x(x-1)/2, where x is the number of people. With 25 people, it will be 25x24/2 = 300 handshakes.

Everyone shakes hands with 4 other people. Since there are 5 people in the room this would suggest there are 5*4 = 20 handshakes. However, you would then be double counting handshakes: A shaking hands with B and B shaking hands with A is, in reality, only one handshake. Thus there are 5*4/2 = 10 handshakes in all.
