Hi All,
I am generally not sure when to add vs when to multiply. Why did we multiply the 2 combinations together in this case? And what would be the case to add them?
Thanks!
Hi All,
What I keep in mind while doing combination questions is that,
AND = Multiply
OR = Add
If one task can be done in ‘m’ ways and another in ‘n’ ways then, first AND second can be done in m*n ways.
If one task can be done in ‘m’ ways and another task can be done in ‘n’ ways then, first OR second ( but not both ) task can be done in ‘m+n’ ways.
