Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
The order in which the items are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.
Combinations formula:
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
How many possible subsets of 2 items can be chosen from this lot?
Combinations of 2 from a set of 10. So
[tex]C_{10,2} = \frac{10!}{2!(10-2)!} = 45[/tex]
