How to how to determine when to use the multiplication and addition in the selection process in permutations and combination
Hello Rohit
If there are different cases, we add them.
If there is one case, we multiply them.
For example:
If we need to find 4 cards of the same suit,
4 cards can be from Diamond, Spade, Club or Heart.
So, either we can take 4 cards from Diamond
or
4 cards from Spade
or
4 cards from Clube
or
4 cards from Heart
So, in this case, the combinations get added.
Now,
If we need to 4 cards, where 4 cards belong to 4 different suits.
Then, we choose 1 card from Heart
AND
1 card from Diamond
AND
1 card from Club
AND
1 card from Spade.
These, 4 cards make up 1 case.
So, we multiply them
