A mobile phone has (4) covers and (4) screen guards available. In how many ways can one cover and one screen guard be chosen?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (16) ways

The fundamental principle of counting applies because a valid selection contains two components: one cover and one screen guard. The cover can be selected in 4 ways. For each one of those covers, any of the 4 screen guards may be selected, giving 4 × 4 = 16 possible pairs. Thus option D is correct. Adding 4 + 4 = 8 would describe a choice between a cover and a guard rather than choosing both. The answer 4 counts only one category, and 12 does not represent the number of combinations formed by the two independent stages. Equal category sizes do not change the multiplication rule.
