Question

There are 5 mangoes and 4 apples. In how many different ways can a selection of friuts be made if

Answer 1

Answer:

29

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

Assuming all the mangoes are identical,

All the apples are identical.

Given there are 5 mangoes, so out of the given 5 mangoes , either none of

the mangoes could have been selected (or) 1 mango could have been

selected (or) 2 mangoes could have been selected (or) 3 mangoes could

have been selected (or) (or) 4 mangoes could have been selected (or) 5

mangoes could have been selected.

So, in total there are 6 possible ways of selecting mangoes.

Similarly, Given there are 4 apples,so out of the given 4 apples, either none

of the apples could have been selected (or) 1 apple could have been

selected (or) 2 apples could have been selected (or) 3 apples could have

been selected (or) 4 apples could have been selected.

So, in total there are 6 possible ways of selecting apples.

In total, both selection of mangoes and apples could be done in 6*5 ways

= 30 ways , but note that selection of 0 mangoes and 0 apples also have

been included in the above 30, hence we need to deduct that case, hence

there are total of 29 ways of selection of fruits.

Hope, it helped !
