for second part we have selected one child.so remaining 2 out of 6 can de done in 6c2 ways=15 ways - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(1)
- There are (7c3)=35 different groups of three that can be formed. Realizing all of them means 35. 35 trips to the cinema, or 35⋅3=105 children's tickets. Since there are 7 children each of them has visited the cinema 105/7=15=(6c2)) times, namely with every pair of his 6 siblings
