Explain why the answers to Parts A and B are the same Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the number of ways is 12C3*9C4
this is 12*11*10/6 multiplied by 9*8*7*6/24
The other way is 12*11*10*9/24 multiplied by 8*7*6/6
If one looks at both numerators and both denominators, it is clear that they are the same.
the answer is 27,720 ways.
