Roger wants to buy a television and DVD player. There are 9 available models of televisions and 6 available models of DVD players, but 3 of these television sets are not compatible with 2 of the DVD players. In how many ways can he buy a television and a compatible DVD player?

a. 48
b. 54
c. 62
d. 70
e. 72

Source- Time4education

Ways of selecting from the total = 9C1 * 6C1 =54
Ways if selecting not compatible product = 3C1 * 2C1 =6

Therefore Ways of selecting compatible products =54 - 6 =48

If all 9 models of televisions and 6 models of DVD players are compatible with one another, then there are 9 x 6 = 54 ways to purchase them. However, since 3 models of televisions and 2 models of DVD players are not compatible, we need to remove 3 x 2 = 6 ways from the above mentioned 54 ways, leaving us with 54 - 6 = 48 ways to purchase a TV and a DVD player.
