Given that Joan is allowed to invite 3 of her friends to join her on a family camping trip. And we need to find If Joan has 10 friends, in how many ways can she invite 3 of them

We need to select 3 people out of 10. Since its a selection so order does not matter => Combination

=> 10C3 ways = \(\frac{10!}{3!*(10-3)!}\) = \(\frac{10*9*8*7!}{3!*7!}\) = 120

So, Answer will be B
Hope it helps!
