From 4 mathematics and 5 physics books, in how many ways can 1 mathematics book and 2 physics books be chosen?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 40

The governing concept is combination selection from separate categories, followed by multiplication. One mathematics book can be chosen in 4C1 = 4 ways. Two physics books can be chosen in 5C2 = 5!/(2!3!) = (5×4)/2 = 10 ways. Every mathematics choice can be paired with every valid physics pair, so the multiplication principle gives 4C1 × 5C2 = 4×10 = 40. Thus option C is correct. Option A does not count the physics pairs, option B is an incomplete or incorrect product, and option D results from overcounting or using an inappropriate ordered calculation. The books within each subject are selected as groups, so their internal order is irrelevant.
