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 $10.$ ====Go To==== [[math-11-kpk:sol:unit06:ex6-3-p5 |< Question 5 & 6 ]] [[math-11-kpk:sol:unit06:ex6-3-p7|Question 9 >]]
