1 votes 1 votes Let number of Apples, Mangoes, Oranges bought be $N_A, N_M,N_O $ This is number of possible non negative integral solutions of $N_A+N_M+N_O=4$ If we pick one one apple, one mango and one orange, we are left with 3 choices to pick up the 4th fruit. In other words, this is number of possible non negative integral solutions of $N_A+N_M+N_O=1$ This is based on the assumption that there are atleast 4 apples, mangoes and oranges in the baskets.
