The correct answer is: 19×17×48

Given x=C516+C412, y=r=13C420-r, z=k=14C316-k.

Then x+y+z=C516+C412+r=13C420-r+k=14C316-k

x+y+z=C516+C412+C419+C418+C417+C315+C314+C313+C312

x+y+z=C312+C412+C313+C314+C315+C516+C417+C418+C419

Using Crn+Cr-1n=Crn+1, we get

x+y+z=C413+C313+C314+C315+C516+C417+C418+C419

Again, using the same relation, we get

x+y+z=C414+C314+C315+C516+C417+C418+C419

x+y+z=C415+C315+C516+C417+C418+C419

x+y+z=C416+C516+C417+C418+C419

x+y+z=C517+C417+C418+C419

x+y+z=C518+C418+C419

x+y+z=C519+C419

x+y+z=C520

Using Crn=n!r!×n-r!, we get

x+y+z=20!5!×15!

x+y+z=20×19×18×17×16×15!5×4×3×2×1×15!

x+y+z=19×17×48
