Respuesta :

Answer:180

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are 5 industrial stocks, 4 transportation stocks ,3 utility stocks

and analyst has to take 3 industrial stocks , 2 transportation stocks and 2 utility stocks out of above

No of ways  of choosing 3 industrial stock out of 5 is [tex]^5C_3=10[/tex]

No of ways  of choosing 2 transportation  stock out of 4 is [tex]^4C_2=6[/tex]

No of ways  of choosing 2 utility stock out of 3 is [tex]^3C_2=3[/tex]

Thus total no of ways [tex]=^5C_3\times ^4C_2\times ^3C_2=10\times 6\times 3=180 [/tex]

thus 180 combinations are possible
