Question 25 Back to Exercise

A basket has 3 apples, 4 bananas and 5 mangoes; fruits of one kind are identical. In how many ways can at least one fruit be chosen?

  • A 120
  • B 60
  • C 59
  • D 119 Correct
Correct Answer: Option D

Apples: 0–3 (4 ways), bananas 5 ways, mangoes 6 ways

4 × 5 × 6 = 120, minus choosing nothing

= 119

Trap: 120 includes the empty choice.

Answer: 119
