Q:

A Cricket team of 23 people all shake hands with each other exactly once. How many hand shakes occur ?

A) 142 B) 175
C) 212 D) 253
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 253

Explanation:

The first person shakes hands with 22 different people, the second person also shakes hands with 22 different people, but one of those handshakes was counted in the 22 for the first person, so the second person actually shakes hands with 21 new people. The third person, 20 people, and so on...
So,
22 + 21 + 20 + 19 + 18 + 17 + 16 + 15 + 14 + 13 + 12 + 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1
= n(n+1)/2 = 22 x 23 /2 = 11 x 23 = 253.
