Answer 1

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

 A girl has 3 different swimsuits, 4 different shorts and 3 different pairs of flip-flops.

 Different ways can this girl wear a swimsuit, a pair of short and a pair of flip-flops = 3P₁ x 4P₁ x 3P₁

               = 3 x 4 x 3

               = 36

  Different ways can this girl wear a swimsuit, a pair of short and a pair of flip-flops = 36

Option D is the correct answer.
