From 7 different posters, 2 posters are to be selected, but one particular poster must be included. How many selections are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 6

This is a restricted-combination problem. Let the required poster be P. Since P must be included, one of the two positions in the selected pair is already fixed; only one further poster needs to be chosen. Of the seven posters, six are different from P, so the number of possible choices for the second poster is C(6,1) = 6. Hence option B is correct. Another equivalent method is to count all pairs containing P: each such pair is determined uniquely by its other poster. The answer is not 7 because P is not chosen again as an additional poster. It is not 12 because order is irrelevant: the pair {P,Q} is the same selection as {Q,P}. This distinction separates combinations from permutations.
