Solution

The number of ways to choose 7 objects from 10, without replacement and where order does not matter, is given by the combination formula:

C(n, k) = n! / [k!(n-k)!]

where n is the total number of objects, k is the number of objects to choose, and '!' denotes factorial.

Here, n = 10 and k = 7. So,

C(10, 7) = 10! / [7!(10-7)!] = 10! / [7!3!] = (1098) / (321) = 120

So, there are 120 ways to choose 7 objects from 10.
