Here's the Solution to this Question

(a) The number of ways to select 10 comics is the number of 10-combinations of a set

with 6 elements. 


C(6+10-1,10)=\dfrac{15!}{10!(15-10)!}

=\dfrac{15(14)(13)(12)(11)}{1(2)(3)(4)(5)}=3003

(b) The number of ways to select 10 comics if we choose at least one of each book is the number of (10-6)-combinations of a set with 6 elements. 


C(6+4-1,4)=\dfrac{9!}{4!(9-4)!}

=\dfrac{9(8)(7)(6)}{1(2)(3)(4)}=126
