A catering service offers 12 appetizers, 9 main courses, and 7 desserts. A banquet chairperson is to select 8 appetizers, 8 main courses, and 6 desserts for a banquet. In how many ways can this be done?

Sagot :

crisforp
[(12! / (8!*4!) ]* [9! / (8!*1!) ] * [ 7!/ (6!*1!)] = ( 12 * 11 * 10 * 9 / 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) * 9 * 7 = 45 * 11 * 9 * 7 = 31185 ways
