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...

What does the number 10 mean?
It most usually means the number of fingers+thumbs on a person's two hands. This is the decimal system, and has been extended to meanings in other counting systems, for example binary where the "1" signifies a unit of two raised to the power one, instead of ten to the power one. In that case 10 means "no units and one unit of two to the power one".
At a meeting every person shook hands with every other person exactly 1 time and there were a total of 28 handshakes then find the number of people at the meeting?
8 Explanation: The general formula for the number of handshakes is n(n-1)/2 where we have n people shaking hands with n-1 other people. so 28=n(n-1)/2 or 56=n^2-n the solution to this comes from solving n^2-n-56=0 so this factors as (x-8)(x+7) and the answer is 8 To understand this formula think of a small number, like 3 people Each person can shake hands with 2 other people. Let us call the people A, B, and C AB mean A shakes hand with B But AB=BA since if A shakes hands with B then B certainly shakes hands with A But if we look at all the possibilities we have AB, BA,BC, CB, AC and CA, as we explained this double counts so we divide by 2. 3(3-1)/2=3 as expected from the explanation above.
