My answer is 15 am i right? If not please tell me your answer and how you got it

Answer 1

I think you're right, but I'm not sure.

Please do not put my name in the subject box unless you're sure I am able to help you.

Answer 2

There are 10 choices

This is a "combination" type question, since the order of the selection does not matter.
It would be C(5,3) = 5!/(3!2!) = 10

Answer 3

Thanks, Reiny.
