The number of different subsets of 4 elements that can be selected from a set of 6 elements is 15. How many different subsets of 3 elements can be selected from a set of 7 elements?

A. 55
B. 42
C. 35
D. 21


Since the order in which we select each element does not matter, we can use combinations

We can select 3 elements from 7 elements in 7C3 ways

7C3 = (7)(6)(5)/(3)(2)(1) = 35

Answer: C

The video below features a quick way to mentally calculate combinations such as 7C3.
