Answer 1

Outfits possible = 48

Explanation:

Number of ways in which 1 pair of jeans can be selected from 4 pairs of jeans

= 4 C₁ = 4

Number of ways in which 1 shirt can be selected from 6 shirts

= 6 C₁ = 6

Number of ways in which 1 pair of shoes can be selected from 2 pairs of shoes

= 2 C₁ = 2

Total number of combinations = 4 x 6 x 2 = 48

Outfits possible = 48
