The previous answer(s) overlook the possibility that 0 balls can be selected from any color (i.e. 11,10, and 8 choices respectively), as long as all three numbers aren't zero. So it's:
(10+1)*(9+1)*(7+1) - 1 = 879

Answer / sudheer
we need to have one or more balls, so its like a position
where we should not be with no balls.
so answer is (total number of ways we can select the balls
in all possible ways) - (no. of ways where we don't have
any balls selected)
So, no. of ways where we don't have any balls selected =
10C0*9C0*7C0 = 1
total number of ways we can select the balls in all
possible ways = 10!*9!*7!/(10*9*7)
so, answer is ((10!*9!*7!)/(10*9*7)) - 1 =
