Hi,

Can anyone recommend some website or posts or reading material to understand the basics of Combinatorics and Probability problem solving.

Incidentally, I also read through the Manhattan Strategy Guide but did not find the basic explanations fruitful in my understanding the concepts so that the applications can turn out easier.

Thanks,

AB

There is a book by Veritas dedicated solely to Combinatorics & Probability. You should check it out.

There's a great tutorial available for free by MGMAT - all you have to do is register for the free exam on their website so that you can become an MGMAT "student" with access to an account. The link is here, really helped me understand the concept and its applications: https://www.manhattangmat.com/tutorials/combinatorics-probability.cfm

Hope this helps! :)
