Q6) Select 3 candidates from 8 euqally qualified recent grads for openings in an a/c firm?

Since they aren't distinct from each other we have to choose any 3 from 8 grads

So, total no. of ways of choosing 3 candidates from 8 euqlly qualified recent grads for openings in an accounting firms = 8C3 = 56
