Note the following:

  • The formula for the combination for the selection of the \mathrm{x} items from the \mathrm{y}different items is \mathrm{=^{y}C_{x}=\frac{y!}{x!\left ( y-x \right )!}}

  • The number of ways of allocating the \mathrm{n} identical items among \mathrm{r} head count with zero, one or more items is \mathrm{=^{n+r-1}C_{r-1}}

As per the available data, the number of identical professions is \mathrm{=1+1+1=3}

Note that the following is evident from the provided data.

  • The number from which the restricted combination is to be made is

          \mathrm{=n+r-1=50+3-1=50}

  • The number with which the restricted combination is to be made is

         \mathrm{=r-1=3-1=2}

Therefore, the required restricted combination is

\mathrm{=^{n+r-1}C_{r-1}}

\mathrm{=^{52}C_{2}}

=\frac{52!}{2!50!}

=1326
