Correct Answer: 170
Solution : Given, Each exterior angle of a polygon is 18°. We know that the sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is 360°. Number of sides of polygon = $\frac{360°}{\text{each exterior angle}}$ ⇒ Number of sides of regular polygon, $n$ = $\frac{360°}{18°} = 20$ $\therefore$ Number of diagonals = $\frac{n(n-3)}{2}=\frac{20(20-3)}{2}=170$ Hence, the correct answer is 170.
