Question 1117956: Ten sets of twins (20 people) are applying for 3 committee positions. If no sets of twins are
allowed on a committee, how many ways can the committee be chosen? Answer by ikleyn(52778) (Show Source):
The members of the committee go from different twin sets.
So, there are choices between the sets of twins, and then 2*2*2 choices inside each twin set.
The total number of ways is = = 1080.
