From (9) fruits (4) fruits are to be selected but exactly (1) of (3) special fruits is chosen. How many ways are there?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (60)

The direct answer is option B, 60. Exactly one of the three special fruits must be selected. First choose that one special fruit in C1 = 3 ways. After this, we need three more fruits, and they must come from the six non-special fruits, because choosing another special fruit would violate “exactly one.” Those three can be chosen in C3 = 20 ways. By the multiplication principle, total ways are 3×20 = 60. Option A, 45, is too small and does not represent the required product. Option B, 60, is correct. Option C, 75, uses an incorrect combination count. Option D, 90, overcounts, usually by failing to enforce that the other three fruits are non-special. “Exactly one” is stricter than “at least one”: no second special fruit may be included. Memory cue: exactly one from a special group means choose one special item, then choose all remaining items outside that group.
