What is Combination?

A combination in mathematics is a selection of elements from a set with distinct members, where the order of selection is irrelevant (unlike permutations).

Solution:

Since reading 2 american novels is compulsory

The student therefore needs to read only two more novels

It can be either American Novels or English Novels

Ways to read American Novel = 7C2

Ways to read English Novel = 7C2

Total Ways = 9C2 * (7C2 + 7C2)

Total Ways = 36 * (42)

Total Ways = 1512 ways
