While packing for a business trip Mr. Debashis has packed 3 pairs of shoes, 4 pants, 3 half-pants, 6 shirts, 3 sweater and 2 jackets. The outfit is defined as consisting of a pair of shoes, a choice of "lower wear" (either a pair or a half-pant), a choice of "upper wear" (it could be a shirt or sweater or both) and finally he may or may not choose to wear a jacket. How many different outfits are possible ?
Answer: D Shoes can be selected = 3 ways. Lower wear can be selected = (4+3) = 7 ways. Upper wear can be selected = (6 + 3+ 9*2) =27 ways. Jacket can be selected = 2 ways. He may not wear jacket = 3ways. Total possible outputs = 3*7*27*3 = 1701 ways.
