Question

You are going to have an ice cream or a cake. There are three flavours (chocolate, strawberry , vanilla) in ice creams, and two flavours (orange or red velvet) in the cake. In how many possible ways can you choose an ice cream or the cake?

Answer 1

We are going to have either a ice cream or a cake.
Ice cream can be selected from 3 flavors and cake from two flavors. Both the events cannot occur simultaneously selecting ice cream and cake.

∴ Number of possible ways = 3 + 2

= 5 ways
