cloth material from the merchant ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let see first we see for cotton cloth

we have 2 design and 5 color shades son we

have 10 choice in cotton cloth

and for terrycot same 10 choice are there so

total we have 20 choice

Answer 2

The answer is 20 choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Number of types of cloth = 2
• Number of patterns each cloth can have = 2
• Number of colors of each cloth = 5
• Total choices possible $=2\times 2\times 5 = 20$

OR

• Cotton cloth can have design pattern A in 5 different colors.
• Cotton cloth can have design pattern B in 5 different colors.

So, Total $= 5+5=10$ varieties in cotton cloth.

Similarly, there would be 10 varieties in terrycot.

Hence, a total of $10+10 = 20$ choices would be available for the merchant to purchase.
