Which condition will not create a gap or an overlap at vertex of polygons?

You might be referring to what's called a tesselation of space. Tiles on a floor are one example of a tesselation: each tile is a polygon (a square most often) and when they are laid on the floor properly there are no gaps or overlaps. A honeycomb shows another kind of tesselation.


How many 12 x 12 tile in 228 sq ft?

A 12x12 tile is 1 sq ft. So there are 228 12x12 tiles in 228 sq ft. Depending on the dimensions (l x w) there may be fewer due to what type of tile you are referring to, and the seam thickness between each tile. IE vinyl tiles will butt up to each other with no gap, using exactly 228 tiles, but ceramic will have anywhere from 1/8" to 3/8" grouted gap and depending on the shape could be anywhere from 228 (with several being trimmed) in a square, to 222 or less if all in a straight line.

Does the cost of installing tile include mastic and grout?

If you're having a professional contractor install your floor they normally include that in the price with a line item, unless you're installing a specific type of finish or grout. If its highly unique then they normally give you a price with normal stuff and a price for the work for the specifics that you want. Calculating the price is pretty easy depending upon gap and, type of tile, and grout you plan on using.
