A man has brought tomota and five fruits from market.

How many ways he can prepare mixed jam by selecting any 3 fruits excluding tomato

To determine the number of ways the man can prepare a mixed jam by selecting any 3 fruits excluding tomato, we can use the concept of combinations.

Since the man has brought 5 fruits from the market, excluding tomato, he has 5 - 1 = 4 fruits to choose from.

To find the number of ways to select 3 fruits from 4, we can use the combination formula:

C(n, r) = n! / (r!(n-r)!),

where n is the total number of fruits to choose from, and r is the number of fruits to select.

Applying this formula, we have:

C(4, 3) = 4! / (3!(4-3)!) = 4! / (3! x 1!) = (4 x 3 x 2 x 1) / (3 x 2 x 1 x 1) = 4.

Therefore, the man can prepare mixed jam in 4 different ways by selecting any 3 fruits excluding tomato.
