\n" ); document.write( "As there are 50 states and 2 senators from each states, total 100.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "according to question, from each state at most 1 senator can be selected.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, firstly we choose 5 states from which we have to select senators.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "no. of ways to choose 5 states from total 50 states = 50C5 \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now, from each state we can choose senator in 2 ways. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "total no. of ways to choose 5 senator from given 5 particular states = 2^5 = 32\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, total no. of ways to select 5 senators = 50C5 * 32 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= 2118760 * 32 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= 67800320\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER IS: 67800320.\r
