A bowl contains an apple, a plum, a pear, and a banana. How many different pairs of fruit can be selected from the bowl

Based on the information given about the combination, the number of different parts of fruits that can be selected from the bowl will be 6.

Since the bowl contains an apple, a plum, a pear, and a banana, the different pairs of fruit that can be selected from the bowl will be 4C2.

We can solve this further which will be:

= 4C2

= 4! /2! (4 - 2)!

= 4! / 2!2!

= (4 × 3 × 2)/ 2 × 2

= 24/4

= 6

Therefore, 6 different pairs of fruit can be selected.
