Answer: the total number of different combinations of three people that could go in the car is 3.

Explanation:

Given that There are five competitors, for three seats in a car. Liam Noah William, Dale, and Mason. Liam and Noah must be together and William and Dale cannot be together in the car.

There are 3 different ways that three people can be chosen from the group of five competitors (Liam, Noah, William, Dale, and Mason). However, the constraints that Liam and Noah must be together and William and Dale cannot be together limit the number of valid combinations.

One valid combination would be Liam and Noah, along with one of the remaining three competitors (William, Dale, or Mason). Another valid combination would be William and one of the remaining four competitors (Noah, Dale, Mason, or Liam). The third valid combination would be Dale and one of the remaining four competitors (Noah, William, Mason, or Liam).

So the total number of different combinations of three people that could go in the car is 3.

So the 3 valid combination according to the given situation will be

First Combination ;    Liam ,Noah and  Mason

Second Combination:  Liam ,Noah and Dale

Third Combination: Liam ,Noah and  William
