• given 4 boxes of 4 different colors and we have to choose two boxes out of these.
  
  so total number of combinations =4C2=6
  
  Combinations are - GB,GR,GY,BR,BY,RY
  
  So the combinations of at least 1 green ball =3
  
  the combination of at least 1 red ball =3
  
  total combinations =3+3–1=5 ( 1 combination deducted because GR was included in both sets of combination)
  
  so therefore there are 5 combinations for selecting at least 1 red ball or 1 green ball.
