What is the greatest number of points of intersection that can occur when
2 different circles and 2 different straight lines are drawn on the same piece of paper?

 

Let n the number of circles Let m the number of straight lines 

 

 

 

 

n=2m=212m(m1)+n(2m+n1)=122(21)+2(22+21)=1+25=11

 

The greatest number of points of intersection is 11
