Answer 2

6 different groups

Explanation:

Given :Kevin has 6 unique Fabergé eggs, but only 5 fit in his bag.

To Find: How many different groups of 5 Fabergé eggs can he take?

Solution:

There are 6 eggs in total.

Only 5 can be fit in his bag .

So, to find number of different groups we will use combination.

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

n = 6

r=5

So,
`^6C_5=(6!)/(5!(6-5)!)`

`^6C_5=(6!)/(5!(1)!)`

`^6C_5=6`

Hence he can take 6 different groups 5 Fabergé eggs .
