As per the question, they have specifically mentioned "How many different combinations of different colours can be made for a 3-flower garland?"
The catch is on "
different types" and "
different colours" of flowers
For detailed explanation, suppose I denote the flowers as B1,B2,R1,R2,Y then "different types" and "different coloured" combinations would be -
Y,B1,R1
Y,B2,R1
Y,B1,R2
Y,B2,R2
Any combination other than above would violate the given conditions.
Hence, we need to find possibilities where we take different flowers and fulfill the condition of 3-different colours in the garland
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary" - Steve Jobs
