    C (2, r)

    C (6, r)

    20 ways

    Step-by-step explanation:

    (a) Selection can be dependent on whether there is order or not. Assume there is no order of selection, the function is given by

    Selection = C (n, r) ... (1)

    Selection = C (2, r)

    Where C is a combination function, n is the number of oranges and is the number of oranges selected at a time.

    Assuming 1 at a time

    Selection = 2C1 = 2! = 2 ways

    (f) For the combination of oranges, banana and apples. We assume the apples and banana are identitcal to each other as the the oranges and are of the same number

    n = 6, n (O) = 2, n (B) = 2, n (A) = 2

    Selection = C (n, r)

    = C (6, r)

    (g) Selection = C (6, 3)

    Selection = 6C3 = [6 * 5 * 4 * 3!]/3!3!

    = (6*5*4) / 3*2

    = 20ways
