The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of selecting 6 coins from the given denominations, we can use the concept of combinations and the stars and bars theorem. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Define the Variables We have three types of coins: - 1 Rupee coins: 10 available - 50 Paise coins: 6 available - 20 Paise coins: 8 available Let: - \( x_1 \) = number of 1 Rupee coins selected - \( x_2 \) = number of 50 Paise coins selected - \( x_3 \) = number of 20 Paise coins selected We need to find the total number of ways to select 6 coins, which can be represented by the equation: \[ x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = 6 \] ### Step 2: Set Constraints We also have constraints based on the available coins: - \( 0 \leq x_1 \leq 10 \) - \( 0 \leq x_2 \leq 6 \) - \( 0 \leq x_3 \leq 8 \) ### Step 3: Use the Stars and Bars Method The stars and bars theorem allows us to find the number of non-negative integer solutions to the equation \( x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = 6 \) without considering the upper limits initially. The number of non-negative integer solutions is given by: \[ \binom{n + k - 1}{k - 1} \] where \( n \) is the total number of coins to select (6) and \( k \) is the number of types of coins (3). So, we calculate: \[ \binom{6 + 3 - 1}{3 - 1} = \binom{8}{2} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Combination Now we compute \( \binom{8}{2} \): \[ \binom{8}{2} = \frac{8 \times 7}{2 \times 1} = 28 \] ### Step 5: Verify Constraints Now we check if the constraints affect our solution: - The maximum for \( x_1 \) is 10, which is not a constraint since we are only selecting 6 coins. - The maximum for \( x_2 \) is 6, which means we cannot select more than 6 of 50 Paise coins. - The maximum for \( x_3 \) is 8, which is also not a constraint since we are only selecting 6 coins. Since all constraints are satisfied, we conclude that our initial calculation holds. ### Final Answer Thus, the total number of ways to select 6 coins from the given denominations is **28**. ---
