Answer: 1

Explanation:

Given : A bag contains 7 apples and 5 oranges.

Then , the total number of pieces of fruits =
7+5=12

We know that the number of n things taken x at a time is given by:-


^nC_x=(n!)/(x!(n-x)!)

Then, the number of ways you can get 7 apples:-


^(7)C_7*^5C_0=(7!)/(7!(7-7)!)*(5!)/(0!(5-0)!)\\\\=1*1=1

Hence, the number of ways you can get 7 apples =1
