Answer #1

>> There are 14 different varieties of cookies and we need to choose 8 cookies and all eight must belong to only two varieties that is amongst 8 cookies chosen only two varieties should be there

>> Any 2 cookies from 14 can be chosen in 14C2 ways = 91 ways

>> Now we need to choose 8 cookies from these 2 varieties only and there be at least one chosen from each variety

>>If 1 from each variety is reserved we are left with 6 cookies to be chosen from left and that is to be done in = 2 x 2^6 = 2^7 = 128

>> Hence the total number of ways =91x128 = 11648
