Solution
Let us make the following cases:
Case (i): Boy borrows Mathematics Part II
Then he borrows Mathematics Part I also.
So the number of possible choices is 6C1 = 6.
Case (ii): Boy does not borrow Mathematics Part II
Then the number of possible choices is 7C3 = 35.
Hence, the total number of possible choices is 35 + 6 = 41.
