A bag contains 2 apples, 3 oranges, and 4 bananas. The number of ways in which 3 fruits can be selected if atleast one banana is always in the combination (Assume fruits of same species to be alike) is
We have to select 3 fruits. It will contain 1 banana and 2 more fruits.
Case 1: 2 fruits are bananas.
Number of ways = 1
Case 2: both are not bananas
a) both are same fruits
Number of ways = ²C1 = 2
b) both are different fruits
Number of ways = 1
Case 3: 1 fruit is banana
Number of ways = 1ײC1 = 2
total number of ways = 1 + 2 + 1 + 2
= 6
Total number of ways =6
