There are 6 distinct lines and 5 distinct circles. Two figures are to be selected with at least one line. How many selections are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 45

There are 6 + 5 = 11 distinct figures in total. If there were no restriction, the number of ways to select any 2 figures would be C(11,2) = 11 × 10 / 2 = 55. The condition requires at least one line, so the only invalid selections are those containing two circles and no line. The number of such selections is C(5,2) = 5 × 4 / 2 = 10. By the complement principle, valid selections = 55 - 10 = 45. Thus option A is correct. This count includes line-line and line-circle pairs, while excluding only circle-circle pairs. The value 55 ignores the stated restriction and therefore is not valid.
