An exam seat code contains a row from 1 to 12, a column from 1 to 8, and a block A, B, or C. If block C allows only even row numbers, how many seat codes are valid?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 240

The governing concept is the fundamental principle of counting, with separate cases for the blocks because block C has a restriction. For block A, there are 12 possible rows and 8 possible columns, giving 12×8=96 codes. Block B gives another 12×8=96 codes. In block C, only the six even rows 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 are allowed, and each can be paired with any of the 8 columns, giving 6×8=48 codes. Since the three blocks are distinct, the cases are added: 96+96+48=240. Hence option A is correct. Multiplying 12×8×3 would give 288, but that incorrectly allows odd rows in block C. The restriction must be applied before adding the case totals.
