Answer 2

The given side dishes are rice potatoes and vegetables = 2

The given main dishes are chicken, fish and beef = 3

As there are 2 side dishes. With rice potatoes we can order any of the three main dish, so it is 3 combination. Similarly with vegetables also, we can order any of the three main dish, so it is 3 combination.
