How many ways are there to choose (3) pens from (12) pens?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 220

This is a selection question, so the order of the pens does not matter. Hence, the number of ways is \(\binom{12}{3}=\frac{12\times11\times10}{3\times2\times1}=220\). Therefore, 220 is correct. The value 440 can result from unnecessarily counting the same selections twice. Exam tip: use combinations \(\binom{n}{r}\) when objects are selected and their order is not specified.
