$7$ Red apple(RA),$5$ white apple $(WA)$,$8$ oranges$(O)$,$5$ fruits to be selected (Note:- fruits taken different) Possible selections :- $(2 O , 1 RA , 2 WA )$ or $(2 O$, $2 RA , 1 WA )$ or ( $3 O , 1 RA , 1 WA )$
$\Rightarrow{ }^8 C _2{ }^7 C _1{ }^5 C _2+{ }^8 C _2{ }^7 C _2{ }^5 C _1+{ }^8 C _3{ }^7 C _1{ }^5 C _1$
$\Rightarrow 1960+2940+1960$
