The number of ways of selecting 3 railroads from 10 Class I railroads is
(310)=3!(10−3)!10!=1⋅2⋅310⋅9⋅8=120 The number of ways of selecting 1 railroad from 6 Class II railroads is
(16)=1!(6−1)!6!=6 The number of ways of selecting 1 railroad from 5 Class III railroads is
(15)=1!(5−1)!5!=5 Using the multiplication rule we have
120⋅6⋅5=3600 There are 3600 different possibilities for his study.
