        In this problem it is assumed that you know how to calculate the numbers of combinations.

        It is a prerequisite in this problem.



<pre>
(a)  {{{C[5]^3*C[6]^2}}}.    You do the rest.



(b)  {{{C[5-2]^(3-2)*C[6]^2}}} = {{{C[3]^1*C[6]^2}}}.   

     The meaning and wording of the solution is clear from the structure of the formula.



(c)  {{{C[5]^3*C[6-1]^2}}} = {{{C[5]^3*C[5]^2}}}.

     The meaning and wording of the solution is clear from the structure of the formula.
