A flag is to be made by choosing (2) colors from (9) colors, but the positions of colors are not fixed. How many selections are there?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 36

Since the positions of the colours are not fixed, choosing red and blue is the same as choosing blue and red. Thus, order does not matter and combinations are used: \(\binom{9}{2}=\frac{9\times8}{2}=36\). Therefore, the correct answer is 36. The value 72 comes from the permutation \(9\times8\), where different orders are counted separately. Exam tip: use \(\binom{n}{r}\) when only selection matters and order is irrelevant.
