Find the value of C(9, 2).

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 36

C(9,2) represents the number of ways to select two objects from nine when order does not matter. Use the combination formula C(n,r)=n!/[r!(n−r)!]. Thus C(9,2)=9!/(2!7!)=(9×8)/2=36. Therefore option B is correct. The result can also be understood by first counting ordered selections: there are 9 choices for the first object and 8 for the second, giving 9×8=72. Every unordered pair is counted twice in that product, once as AB and once as BA, so divide by 2 to obtain 36. Hence 72 is a permutation count, not a combination count. The values 18 and 81 arise from unrelated or incomplete calculations.
