Solution
The correct option is C2n We have n things which are alike and n different things, making a total of 2n things.
At a time, we want to take n things, and so the options would be
0 from the first set n from the second set,
1 from the first set (n−1) from the second set and so on.
So the number of combinations would be nC0×1+nC1×1+nC2×1+....+nCn×1 since the number of combinations of picking up alike objects is only 1 in all the cases.
