I want to get better at this topic and I have trouble finding good questions apart from past year exam questions. I am currently an A- Level student, so can someone recommend me a good book full of challenging questions at my level?
To give you some idea of the types of questions in the exam, here are some:

Any suggestions would be much welcomed and appreciated!

I recently used Walpole and Myers book for Prob and Stats which had rather clear and concise explanations for combinations and such. Maybe not too heavy on sample problems, but it might be helpful nonetheless. Chapter 2 section 2 is all about combinations and permutations.

I found an online pdf here: http://folk.ntnu.no/jenswerg/40CEFd01.pdf

Or you can support the authors and purchase here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0321629116/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Hey, thanks a lot for the links! The book is useful for other topics that I'm learning too.

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
