(b)
At least one book of each subject.
(iii)
3255
(c)
At least one book of English.
(i)

Explanation:
We have 3 books of mathematics, 4 of physics and 5 on english
  1. One book of each subject = 3C1 × 4C1 × 5C1 × = 3 × 4 × = 60
  2. Alleast one book of each subject = (22 - 1) × (24 - 1) × (25 - 1) = 7 × 15 × 31 = 3255
  3. Atlest one book of english = (25 - 1) × 27 = 31 × 128 = 3968. Hence the required matching is
