`63360`

`63300`

C

`63260`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`(a)` Selecting any two pairs, number of ways `=.^(12)C_(2)`
Now we have to select remaining three shoes from `10` pairs such that no pair is selected.
Three shoes from different pairs can be selected in `.^(10)C_(3)xx2^(3)` (selecting three pairs and then from each pair selecting on shoe in `2` ways)
`:.` Total number of ways `=.^(12)C_(2)xx^(10)C_(3)xx2^(3)`
