Question

Jerrard is planning a small trip to one of the hill stations nearby.
Since he will be traveling on his scooter, he plans to carry less luggage with him.
He packs 4 shirts and 2 pairs of trousers in his bag.
Find for how many days Jerrard can plan a trip if he wears a different combination of shirt and trousers each day.

• A. 6
• B. 8
• C. 7
• D. 2

Answer 1

The correct option is B 8

Let us see the number of possible combinations that can be made.One trouser can be paired with four shirts.

Similarly, another trouser can also be paired with four shirts.
Number of possible combinations = 4 + 4 = 8
Thus, Jerrard can plan a trip for 8 days.
