Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is true because the number of relationships in a group is determined by the formula n(n-1)/2, where n is the number of members in the group. As n increases, the value of n(n-1)/2 increases much faster. For example, a group of 10 people has 45 possible relationships among them, while a group of 20 people has 190 possible relationships - more than four times as many.
