Both Fred and Ed have a bag of candy containing a lemon drop, a cherry drop, and a lollipop. Each takes out a piece and eats it. What are the possible pairs of candies eaten? A. Lemon-lemon, cherry-lemon, lollipop-lollipop, lemon-cherry, cherry-cherry, lemon-lollipop, lollipop-cherry, cherry-lollipop, lollipop-lemon B. Cherry-lemon, lemon-lollipop, lollipop-cherry, lollipop-lollipop, lemon-lemon C. Lemon-cherry, lemon-cherry, lemon-cherry, lemon-lollipop, lemon-lollipop, lemon-lollipop, cherry-lollipop, cherry-lollipop, cherry-lollipop D. Lemon-lemon, cherry-lemon, lollipop-lollipop, lemon-lollipop, cherry-cherry, lemon-lollipop, lollipop-cherry, cherry-lemon, lollipop-lemon

A. Lemon-lemon, cherry-lemon, lollipop-lollipop, lemon-cherry, cherry-cherry, lemon-lollipop, lollipop-cherry, cherry-lollipop, lollipop-lemon

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we are told that both Fred and Ed have a bag of candy containing a lemon drop, a cherry drop, and a lollipop

There are two events here's

2 people = Fred and Ed

3 bags of different sweets = Lemon Cherry and Lollipop

The number of ways that both of them can eat this singly is calculated using combination formula

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

n = 3, r = 2 = 3C2 = 3!/2! (3 - 2)!

= 3 × 2 × 1/2 × 1

= 3

We were asked to find the possible pairs

Hence = 3² = 9

There are 9 possible pairs through which Fred and Ed can eat their sweets and they are:

1) Lemon - Lemon

2) Cherry - Cherry

3) Lollipop - Lollipop

4) Lemon - Cherry

5) Cherry - Lemon

6) Lollipop - Cherry

7) Cherry - Lollipop

8) Lollipop - Lemon

9) Lemon - Lollipop.

Therefore, Option A is the correct option

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.
