From 5 mathematics and 4 physics books, 5 books are to be selected with exactly 2 physics books. How many selections are there?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 60

The phrase exactly 2 physics books fixes the composition of the selection. First choose 2 physics books from the 4 available: C(4,2) = 4×3/2 = 6. Since five books are required altogether, the remaining 3 must be mathematics books. These can be chosen from the 5 mathematics books in C(5,3) = 5×4×3/(3×2×1) = 10 ways. The two choices are independent, so the multiplication principle gives C(4,2)C(5,3) = 6×10 = 60. Therefore option B is correct. Choosing any five from all nine books would not enforce the condition, because it would also count selections containing zero, one, three, or four physics books. The exact-subject restriction must be applied before multiplying.
