Dear all
I am trying to ask about the number of combinations for the following options
a
b
c1 / c2 / c3 (choose 1)
d1 / d2 / d3 (choose 1)
e1 / e2 (choose 1)
If I choose d1, I cannot choose d2 or d3.
For combination of 5, I will have 18 combinations.
a, b, c1, d1, e1
a, b, c1, d1, e2
a, b, c1, d2, e1
a, b, c1, d2, e2
a, b, c1, d3, e1
a, b, c1, d3, e2
a, b, c2, d1, e1
a, b, c2, d1, e2
a, b, c2, d2, e1
a, b, c2, d2, e2
a, b, c2, d3, e1
a, b, c2, d3, e2
a, b, c3, d1, e1
a, b, c3, d1, e2
a, b, c3, d2, e1
a, b, c3, d2, e2
a, b, c3, d3, e1
a, b, c3, d3, e2
Questions:
1) Is there a formula for this kind of scenario?
2) How to calculate the number of combinations for combination of 3?
Thank you for your assistance.
