Answer 2

If Fiona chooses towel A for herself, then statements are C) She has four choices for the first brother’s towel and three choices for the second brother’s towel, D) ABC, ABD, ABE, ACD, ACE, and ADE are the possible outcomes., and E). If Fiona did not choose towel A for herself, there would be more outcomes.

• According to the question Fiona is choosing from five towels A, B, C, D, and E.

• Given that she chooses towel A for herself.
• This means that she has 4 towels left to pick for her brothers.
• Hence, she has four choices for the first brother’s towel, and three choices for the second brother’s towel.

⇒  ABC, ABD, ABE, ACD, ACE, and ADE are the possible outcomes of the picks of the remaining 3 towels.

• If Fiona failed to pick towel A for herself, there could be greater alternatives in terms of what she chooses for the two brothers.
