Problem

A choir direction must select a group of singers from among his $6$ tenors and $8$ basses. The only requirements are that the difference between the number of tenors and basses must be a multiple of $4$, and the group must have at least one singer. Let $N$ be the number of different groups that could be selected. What is the remainder when $N$ is divided by $100$?

$\textbf{(A) } 47\qquad\textbf{(B) } 48\qquad\textbf{(C) } 83\qquad\textbf{(D) } 95\qquad\textbf{(E) } 96\qquad$

Solution 2

We know the choose function and we know the pair multiplication $MN$ so we do the multiplications and additions. $\binom{6}{0}(\binom{8}{4}+\binom{8}{8})+\binom{6}{1}(\binom{8}{1}+\binom{8}{5})+\binom{6}{2}(\binom{8}{2}+\binom{8}{6})+\binom{6}{3}(\binom{8}{3}+\binom{8}{7})+\binom{6}{4}(\binom{8}{0}+\binom{8}{4}+\binom{8}{8})+\binom{6}{5}(\binom{8}{1}+\binom{8}{5})+\binom{6}{6}(\binom{8}{2}+\binom{8}{6}) = \boxed{(D) 4095}$ ~Lopkiloinm
