Wildlife sanctuary has 38 species of birds.

They have 15 of each kind. A national
zoo in the same city has 42 species of
birds with 12 of each kind. Do they have
the same number of birds?

Firstly, solve 38C15.

Then solve 42C12.

Compare your answers.

The goal here is to see if 38C15 = 42C12.

Here is the formula:

nCr = n!/(r!(n - r)!

Go for it.
