We have to choose at least three denominations out of five. So we can either choose 3 denominations out of 5 or choose 4 out of 5 or choose all 5. Mathematically it will be written as – Total number of ways = 5C3 + 5C4 + 5C5 = 10 + 5 + 1 = 16 ways. Don’t worry about ‘different sums’, they will be ‘different’ as each time we are taking a different set of denominations. Manually, these combinations will be – (a) Three denomination combinations – 50+100+200; 50+100+500; 50+100+2000; 50+200+500; 50+200+2000; 50+500+2000; 100+200+500; 100+200+2000; 100+500+2000; 200+500+2000; TOTAL 10 (b) Four denomination combinations – 50+100+200+500; 50+100+200+2000; 50+100+500+2000; 50+200+500+2000; 100+200+500+2000; TOTAL 5 (c) Five denomination combinations – 50+100+200+500+2000; TOTAL 1 So total = 10 + 5 + 1 = 16.
