Common mistake, if you choose any two objects, the others are also CHOSEN so since you are choosing twice, the order of choice matters You choose once,technically you dont need to choose again

i told you to choose between 1,2,3,4 you picked 1,2 thats different you picked 3,4 thats different
coolguy.

Right
Monishrules

i told you to seperate 1,2,3,4 into two groups you first chose 1,2 thats one way but choosing 3,4 is also the same right

im leaving this q to see and test yourself if you understand, suppose i wanted to split 1,2,3,4,5,6 into 3 groups of size 2, the answer should 6c2 times 4c2/3!

because you are choosing in a order see consider the case (1,2)(3,4)(5,6)
coolguy.
coolguy.OP3mo ago
Accha accha
Monishrules
Monishrules3mo ago
that is counted once when (1,2)(3,4)(5,6) is made in that order, or (1,2)(5,6)(3,4) etc
coolguy.
coolguy.OP3mo ago

Monishrules

Right In the question each clothing has 2 colours in common
Monishrules
Monishrules3mo ago
you just need to split the colour into 2 groups of 2

coolguy.OP3mo ago
