A person always prefers to eat parantha and vegetable dish in his meal. How many ways can he make his platter in a marriage party if there are three types of paranthas, four types of vegetable dish, three types of salads, and two types of sauces?

The number of ways he can select at least one parantha is 23 - 1 = 7. The number of ways he can select at least one vegetable dish is 24 - 1 = 15. The number of ways he can select zero or more items from salads and sauces is 25.Hence, the total number of ways is 7×15×32=3360.
