A. 360
B. 720
C. 3,600
D. 7,200
E. 36,000

Kris enters a shop to buy the following :

2 pairs of gloves, 1 parka, 2 hats, and 3 pairs of boots

The shop has a catalog of things : 5 types of gloves, 3 different parkas, 4 hats, and 6 pairs of boots. Where Kris can choose from these.

Catalog has the choices which Kris can make.

Select 2 gloves from 5 types of gloves = 5C2 = 10

Select 1parkas from 3 different parkas = 3C1 = 3

Select 2 Hats from the collection of 4 hats = 4C2 = 6

Select 3 Boots from the collection of 6 Boots = 6C3 = 20

Number of ways = 10*3*6*20 = 200*18 = 3600

Option C

Total no of ways will be
Gloves 5C2
parkas 3C2
hats 4C2
Boots 6C3

5C2*4C2*6C3*3C1=10*6*20*3=3600

Hence option C is correct

For each type of item, Kris is choosing distinct models from the catalog:
Gloves : 2 choices from 5
= 5C2
Parkas : 1 choice from 3
= 3C1
Hats : 2 choices from 4
= 4C2
Boots : 3 choices from 6
= 6C3

Total no. of different orders
= 10×3×6×20
=3600

So option C is correct
