What is combination ?

Combination is a mathematical technique that determines the number of possible arrangements in a collection of items where the order of the selection does not matter.

Combination [tex](^nC_{r} ) = \frac{n ! }{r!(n-r)!}[/tex]

1.

We have, to perform [tex]2[/tex] short plays, [tex]4[/tex] recitals and [tex]3[/tex] dance programmes in any order.

So,

The number of ways to select   [tex]2[/tex]  short plays out of [tex]3[/tex]  using the mentioned formula,

[tex](^3C_{2} ) = \frac{3 ! }{2!(3-2)!}[/tex]

         [tex]= \frac{3 *2*1 }{2*1*1}=3[/tex]

Now,

The number of ways to select  [tex]4[/tex]  recitals out of [tex]6[/tex] using the mentioned formula,

[tex](^6C_{4} ) = \frac{6 ! }{4!(6-4)!}[/tex]

        [tex]= \frac{6*5*4 ! }{4!*2*1} =15[/tex]

Now,

The number of ways to select [tex]3[/tex] dance programs out of [tex]4[/tex] using the mentioned formula,

[tex](^4C_{3} ) = \frac{4 ! }{3!(4-3)!}[/tex]

         [tex]= \frac{4*3 ! }{3!*1!}=4[/tex]

Now,

The number of ways to arrange [tex]9[/tex] program using the mentioned  formula,

[tex](^9P_{9} ) = \frac{9 ! }{(9-9)!}[/tex]

        [tex]=9![/tex]

        [tex]=9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1=362880[/tex]

So, the total number of ways by multiplying the values

i.e. [tex]362880*4*15*3=65318400[/tex]

So, the total number of ways to perform the programs are [tex]65318400[/tex] .

2.

We have, to perform the programmes of the same kind.

So,

The number of ways to arrange [tex]3[/tex] different program using the mentioned  formula,

[tex](^3P_{3} ) = \frac{3 ! }{(3-3)!}=3!=3*2*1=6[/tex]

So, the total number of ways by multiplying the values,

i.e. [tex]6*4*15*3=1080[/tex]

3.

We have to perform, the programmes of the same kind and considering the order of performance of the programmes of the same kind.

So,

The number of ways to select  [tex]2[/tex]  short plays out of [tex]3[/tex]  using the mentioned formula,

i.e. [tex](^3P_{2} ) = \frac{3 ! }{(3-2)!}=\frac{3!}{1!} =3*2=6[/tex]

Now,

The number of ways to select  [tex]4[/tex]  recitals out of [tex]6[/tex] using the mentioned formula,

[tex](^6CP_{4} ) = \frac{6 ! }{(6-4)!}=\frac{6!}{2!} =\frac{6*5*4*3*2!}{2!} =360[/tex]

Now,

The number of ways to select [tex]3[/tex] dance programs out of [tex]4[/tex] using the mentioned formula,

[tex](^4P_{3} ) = \frac{4 ! }{(4-3)!}=\frac{4!}{1!}=4*3*2=24[/tex]

So,

The number of ways to arrange [tex]3[/tex] different program using the mentioned  formula,

[tex](^3P_{3} ) = \frac{3 ! }{(3-3)!}=3!=3*2*1=6[/tex]

So, the total number of ways by multiplying the values,

i.e. [tex]6*24*360*6=311040[/tex]

Hence, we can say that the number of choices available to them were [tex]65318400[/tex] , [tex]1080[/tex] and [tex]311040[/tex].
