    The following ingredients are recommended for making a baby’s mashed vegetarian meal : potato, carrot, cauliflower, broccoli and squash. The meal may contain one or more of these ingredients. How many different meals is it possible to make ?
    (A) 27 (B) 28 (C) 29 (D) 30 (E) 31

    is there a easier way to solve this question instead of making combinations as that would take a lot of time
