The number of groups that can be made from 5 different green balls, 4 different blue balls and 3 different red balls, if at least 1 green and 1 blue ball is to be included?
Choose the correct answer:
A.
3700
B.
3720
(Correct Answer)
C.
4340
D.
3600
Correct Answer:
3720
Explanation
1. Analysis by Color
Green Balls (5 different):
Each ball has 2 choices (In or Out). Total combinations = 25.
However, the condition states at least one green ball must be included. We subtract the case where no green ball is chosen (1 way).
Ways to choose green=25−1=31
Blue Balls (4 different):
Similarly, each ball has 2 choices. Total combinations = 24.
The condition states at least one blue ball must be included. We subtract the case where no blue ball is chosen (1 way).
Ways to choose blue=24−1=15
Red Balls (3 different):
There is no restriction on red balls. They can be included or not included in any number (0, 1, 2, or 3).
Ways to choose red=23=8
2. Total Number of Groups
To find the total number of groups, we multiply the independent choices for each color:
Total groups=(Ways for Green)×(Ways for Blue)×(Ways for Red)
Substitute the values:
Total groups=(25−1)×(24−1)×(23)
Total groups=31×15×8
Calculating the final value:
31×120=3720
Final Answer
The total number of groups that can be formed is 3720.
