1st car can be selected in 8 ways.
2nd car can be selected in 6 ways (2 can no longer be selected as all cars are of a different color).
3rd car can be selected in 4 ways.

Total ways 8*6*4 = 192

But this is assuming the order matters, which in this question doesn't. (A-red, A-blue, B-green is same as A-blue, B-green, A-red)

So, total ways = 192/3! = 32.

There are two models of cars, A and B. Model A has 4 color variants Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow. Model B also has 4 color variants Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow. In how many ways can Chelsea choose three cars such that all three cars are of different colors?

A. 16
B. 24
C. 32
D. 96
E. 192
­
Case 1: Select 3 cars of the same model.
Select 1 of the 2 models and then in that model, select 3 of the 4 cars.
2C1 * 4C3 = 8 

Case 2: Select 2 cars of one model and 1 of the other. 
Select 2 cars out of 4 of model A and 1 car from leftover 2 colours of model B. Multiply answer by 2 to select 2 cars from model B and 1 from A.

4C2 * 2C1 * 2 = 24

Total = 8 + 24 = 32

Answer (C)
