A student buys one pen from (7) pens and one notebook from (2) notebooks. How many purchase combinations are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (14) combinations

The direct answer is option C: 14 combinations. The student must make two successive choices: first choose one pen, then choose one notebook. There are 7 choices for the pen and, for each chosen pen, 2 choices for the notebook. By the fundamental principle of counting, multiply independent choices: 7 × 2 = 14. Option C is correct. Option A, 9, comes from adding 7 and 2; addition is not suitable when one item from each group is selected. Option B, 12, is an incorrect product. Option D, 16, is also not the product of the available choices. Each pen can pair with each notebook, giving pairs such as pen 1 with notebook 1 or 2, and so on: 7 groups of 2 pairs. Memory cue: ‘and’ usually means multiply choices; ‘or’ often means add mutually exclusive choices.
