उत्तर

There are 30 boys and 20 girls.

A teacher can select any boy as a class monitor from 30 boys in 30 different ways and he can select any girl as a class monitor from 20 girls in 20 different ways.

∴ by the fundamental principle of addition, the total number of ways a teacher can select a class monitor

= 30 + 20 = 50

Hence, there are 50 different ways to select a class monitor.
