Solution
There are 30 boys and 20 girls in a class.
The teacher wants to select a class monitor from these boys and girls.
A boy can be selected in 30 ways and a girl can be selected in 20 ways.
∴ By using the fundamental principle of addition, the number of ways either a boy or a girl is selected as a class monitor = 30 + 20 = 50.
