Answer: 2100

Explanation:

Given : A pizza place offers 5 different cheeses and 10 different toppings.

Then, the number of pizzas made with 2 cheese and 4 toppings is given by using combinations.

The combination of n things taken r at a time is given by :-


^nC_r=(n!)/(r!(n-r)!)

Then, the number of pizzas made with 2 cheese and 4 toppings will be :-


^5C_2*^(10)C_4\\\\=(5!)/(2!(5-2)!)*(10!)/(4!(10-4)!)\\\\=10*210=2100

Hence, the number of pizzas made with 2 cheese and 4 toppings =2100
