Correct Answer: 20
Solution : Interior angle of a regular polygon = $\frac{(n-2) \times180^{\circ}}{n}$ Interior angle of a regular decagon = $\frac{(10-2) \times180^{\circ}}{10}$ = $144^{\circ}$ Interior angle of a regular polygon = $\frac{15}{16}×144^{\circ}$ = $135^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\frac{(n-2) \times 180^{\circ}}{n}$ = $135^{\circ}$ ⇒ $180n - 135n$ = $360$ ⇒ $n$ = $\frac{360}{45}$ = 8 Number of diagonals = $\frac{n(n-3)}{2}$ = $\frac{8(8-3)}{2}$ = 20 Hence, the correct answer is 20.
