Question

How many ways are there to select 6 pieces of fruit from a huge box containing apples, oranges, lemons, and grapefruits? (The order in which the pieces are selected does not matter, only the type of fruit and not the individual pieces matter, and there are a lot more than 6 pieces of each fruit in the box.)

Answer 1

There are total 6 pieces of fruit to be chosen.

For each piece there are 4 choices of fruit.

Total number of choices= 4*4*4*4*4*4 = 4096 ways.
