Identify the principle or rule of counting Suppose that a procedure can be broken down into a sequence of two tasks If there are n ways to do the first task and for each of these ways of doing the first task there are m ways to do the second task then there are nm ways to do the procedure If a task can be done either in one of n ways or in one of m ways where none of the set of n ways is the same as any of the set of m ways then there are n m ways to do the task A The product rule B Generalized pigeonhole principle C Pigeonhole principle D The sum rule E Principle of inclusion exclusion If a task can be done in either n ways or m ways then the number of ways to do the task is n m minus the number of ways to do the task that are common to the two different ways If k is a positive integer and k 1 or more objects are placed into k boxes then there is at least one box containing two or more of the objects
