Answer:
Volume = 1596.2 cubic cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume = volume of box - volume of cylinder
Volume = (LxWxH) - 1/3 (pi * r^2 *h)
Volume = (10 x 12 x 20) -1/3 (3.14 x 8^2 x 12)
Volume = 2400 - 803.8
Volume = 1596.2 cm^3
Each time you are subtracting 1/9 to get the next term
For example, going from term 2 to term 3 is a difference of -1/9
(1 8/9) - (1/9) = 1 7/9
which is why the answer is choice A
Well, you could assign a letter to each piece of luggage like so...
A, B, C, D, E, F, G
What you could then do is set it against a table (a configuration table to be precise) with the same letters, and repeat the process again. If the order of these pieces of luggage also has to be taken into account, you'll end up with more configurations.
My answer and workings are below...
35 arrangements without order taken into consideration, because there are 35 ways in which to select 3 objects from the 7 objects.
210 arrangements (35 x 6) when order is taken into consideration.
*There are 6 ways to configure 3 letters.
Alternative way to solve the problem...
Produce Pascal's triangle. If you want to know how many ways in which you can choose 3 objects from 7, select (7 3) in Pascal's triangle which is equal to 35. Now, there are 6 ways in which to configure 3 objects if you are concerned about order.
