Question:

How many different selections of 4 books can be made from 10 different books, if

(i) there is no restriction?

(ii) two particular books are always selected?

(iii) two particular books are never selected?

 

Solution:

Since there are 10 different books out of which 4 is to be selected .

(i) When there is no restriction

No. of ways in which 4 books be selected $={ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_{4}$

= 210 ways

(ii) Two particular books are always selected

Since two particular books are always selected, so ways of selecting 2 books from 8 are $={ }^{8} C_{2}$ ways

= 28 ways

(iii) Two particular books are never selected

Since two particular books are never selected so, ways of selecting 4 books from 8 are $={ }^{8} \mathrm{C}_{4}$ ways

= 70 ways
