In a plane there are 37 straight lines of which 13 pass through point and 11 pass through . Besides no three lines pass through one point, no line passes through both points and , and no two are parallel. Then find number of intersection points the lines have.
Answer will be posted in two days if no one else posts it!!

We have ( 2 3 7 ) ways to choose a pair of lines from the 37 points. Each pair will determine a unique intersection point except among those 13 points passed through point A and among those 11 points passed through point B . Hence, the number of intersection points is ( 2 3 7 ) − ( 2 1 3 ) + 1 − ( 2 1 1 ) + 1 = 5 3 5 .
