Question

A bowl contains an apple, a plum, a pear, and a banana. How many different pairs of fruit can be selected from the bowl

Answer 1

Answer: 4C2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bowl contains an apple, a plum, a pear, and a banana, the different pairs of fruit can be selected from the bowl will be:

= 4C2

We can solve this further which will be:

= 4C2

= 4! /2! (4 - 2)!

= 4! / 2!2!

= (4 × 3 × 2)/ 2 × 2

= 24/4

= 6

6 different pairs of fruit can be brought to school
