=====Question 7=====
Consider a group of $20$ people. If everyone shakes hands with everyone else, how many handshake takes place?
====Solution====
Since everyone will shake hand with every other person,
therefore the total number of shake hands are:
\begin{align}{ }^{20} C_2&=\dfrac{20 !}{(20-2)2!}!\\
&=\dfrac{20!}{18!\cdot 2!}\\
&=190\end{align}
=====Question 8=====
A student is to answer $7$ out of $10$ questions in an examination. How many choices has he, if he must answer the first $3$ questions?
====Solution====
Option to choose different $7$ questions out of $10$ to answer are:
$${ }^{10} C_7=\dfrac{10 !}{(10-7) ! 7 !}=120$$
If he must answer the first three,
then the remaining questions are $7$ out of which he has to answer $4.$
In this case the total number of options are to select $4$ are:
$${ }^7 C_4=\dfrac{7 !}{(7-4) ! 4 !}=35.$$
Hence he has total $35$ option to select if he must answer the first three questions out of $10.$
