A student has to choose one main subject from 6 subjects, and the same subject cannot be chosen as the optional subject. The remaining 5 subjects are available for the optional subject. How many selections are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 30 selections

This uses the fundamental principle of counting because the selection is made in two successive stages. First, the main subject can be selected in 6 ways. After that choice, the same subject is unavailable, so the optional subject can be selected from the remaining 5 subjects in 5 ways. Since every main-subject choice can be paired with every permitted optional-subject choice, multiply the numbers: 6 × 5 = 30. Therefore, option C is correct. Adding 6 and 5 would count stages incorrectly, while 25 ignores the six possible main-subject choices. The value 36 would allow the same subject to be selected twice, which the condition explicitly forbids.
