Question No. 2                                                                                                                                         [10 Marks]
Let us consider a point to point network having 9 computers. Answer the following questions with
complete calculations.
a) How many connections/links will be needed in order to connect these computers with each other in
this point to point network?
b) How many new connections/links will be needed in order to add a new machine in this network

Question No. 2                                                                                                   
Let us consider a point to point network having 9 computers. Answer the following questions with complete calculations.

a)      How many connections/links will be needed in order to connect these computers with each other in this point to point network?
Solution: 
=(n^2-n)/2
= (81-9)/2
=72/2=36
a)       How many new connections/links will be needed in order to add a new machine in this network?
Solution: 
N-1=9-1=8
