Algebra
combination
maximum
Answer:
PRMO-2018, Problem 11
Pre College Mathematics
We assume that the number of cups with handle=m and number of cups without handle =n
Can you now finish the problem ..........
The way of select 3 cups with a handle from m cups = and select 2 cups without a handle from n cups =
Can you finish the problem........
We assume that the number of cups with handle=m and number of cups without handle =n
The way of select 3 cups with a handle from m cups = and select 2 cups without a handle from n cups =
Therefore =1200
=
and
Therefore be maximum i.e
Maximum possibile cups=25+4=29
