2. 10 c =120 3 e.g 2 How many ways can 3 books be chosen from a shelve of 10

3. e.g 2 How many ways can a team of 5 players be chosen from a squad of 11 (i) if there are no restrictions (ii)If a certain member must be on the team (iii)If a certain player cannot play (iv)If one player cannot player and one must play 11 c =462 5

4. e.g 2 How many ways can a team of 5 players be chosen from a squad of 11 (ii)If a certain member must be on the team 10 c =210 4

5. e.g 2 How many ways can a team of 5 players be chosen from a squad of 11 (iii)If a certain player cannot play 10 c =120 5

6. e.g 2 How many ways can a team of 5 players be chosen from a squad of 11 (iv) If one player cannot player and one must play 9 c =126 4
