.
(i)     C%5B10%5D%5E6 = %2810%2A9%2A8%2A7%29%2F%281%2A2%2A3%2A4%29 = 210 

        (= the number of combinations of 10 items taken 6 at a time).


(ii)    C%5B9%5D%5E6 = %289%2A8%2A7%29%2F%281%2A2%2A3%29 = 84.


(iii)   C%5B9%5D%5E5 = %289%2A8%2A7%2A6%29%2F%281%2A2%2A3%2A4%29 = 126.


(iv)    C%5B8%5D%5E4 = %288%2A7%2A6%2A5%29%2F%281%2A2%2A3%2A4%29 =  70.
