From 5 different green balls, four different blue balls and three different red balls, how many combinations of balls can be chosen taking at least one green and one blue ball?

Answer Posted / Ankit Kumar Srivastava

To find the number of combinations, we need to calculate the total combinations without restrictions and subtract the combinations that do not have either a green or a blue ball. Let's denote the number of combinations as G (green), B (blue), R (red). We know that G + B + R = 12 (total balls). Also, we have G ≥ 1 and B ≥ 1. Since there are 5 green balls and 4 blue balls, a minimum combination would be 1 green ball, 1 blue ball, and the remaining 6 balls can be any color (R = 6 - 3 = 3 red balls). This gives us 12 - (3 + 1) = 8 combinations for the maximum case with only one of each color. Using the combination formula C(n, k) = n! / [k!(n-k)!], we can calculate all possible combinations without restrictions and subtract the minimum case: Total Combinations = C(12, 0) + C(12, 1) + ... + C(12, 12), Minimum Case Combinations = C(12-3-1, 6) + C(12-4-1, 5) + C(12-5-1, 4). The answer is Total Combinations - Minimum Case Combinations.
