Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of ways to select exactly 5 apples out of 7 is calculated using combinations: $C(7,5)$. Similarly, the number of ways to select 1 orange out of 5 is $C(5,1)$. The total number of ways to select 5 apples and 1 orange is the product of these two combinations: $C(7,5) \times C(5,1) = 21 \times 5 = 105$.
