From numbers (1) to (40), (5) numbers are to be selected with exactly (2) numbers being multiples of (4). How many ways are there?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (122760)

Direct answer: Option A, 122,760 ways. The multiples of 4 from 1 through 40 are 4, 8, ..., 40. Since \(40\div4=10\), there are 10 such numbers. The remaining \(40-10=30\) numbers are not multiples of 4. Exactly 2 multiples must be selected, so their choices are \(\binom{10}{2}=45\). The other 3 numbers must come from the 30 non-multiples, giving \(\binom{30}{3}=4060\). Thus the total is \(45\times4060=122760\). Option A matches this result. Options B, 130,500, C, 136,080, and D, 182,700, do not equal the required product and therefore count the wrong number of selections. The word “exactly” is essential: selecting more or fewer than two multiples is not allowed. Memory cue: count the special category first, then choose the remaining items from its complement.
