4) A certain office supply store stocks 2 sizes of self-stick notepads, each in 4 colors: blue, green, yellow, or pink. The store packs the notepads in packages that contain either 3 notepads of the same size and the same color or 3 notepads of the same size and of 3 different colors. If the order in which the colors are packed in not considered, how many different packages of the types described above are possible?
不理解这题,我想了N久都想不通~~~~~~
2 sizes and 4 colors: Size 1: B,G,Y,P --->(A) Size 2: b,g,y,p ---> (B)
3 notepads of same size and 3 different colors: choose 3 notepads from B,G,Y,P and choose 3 notepads from b,g,y,p => 4C3 + 4C3 = 8
3 notepads of same size and same color: 这就是我不明白的地方了!!Referring back to (A) and (B), how can we select 3 notepads of same size and SAME COLOR? |
