in a and in a .
There areI want to put the and the in a after removing at least one (and maximum all) leaves from each of the 2 bags.
Then how many different possibilities are there for the contents of the ?
Details and assumptions :-
The contents of the are counted in terms of .
If i remove 3 leaves from and 4 leaves from the , then the will have the contents .
( out of and out of were removed)
This problem is part of the set Vegetable Combinatorics

R e d b a g can contain from 0 to 1 6 leaves, thus 1 7 possibilities
B l u e b a g can contain from 0 to 1 8 leaves, thus 1 9 possibilities
According to the M u l t i p l i c a t i o n R u l e of Combinatorics we have 1 7 × 1 9 = 3 2 3 possibilities
