You can put this solution on YOUR website!
we can get exactly three apples in \"5C3\" ways but since we have to select four pieces so one orange can be selected in \"3C1\"ways now by product rule
\n" ); document.write( "total ways to select four pieces = \"5C3\"*\"3C1\"
\n" ); document.write( " =\"5%21%2F3%21%285-3%29%21\"*\"3%21%2F1%21%283-1%29%21\"
\n" ); document.write( " = \"120%2F6%282%29%21\"*\"6%2F2%21\"
\n" ); document.write( " =12*3
\n" ); document.write( " =36
\n" ); document.write( "
