Consider a class of 55 girls and 77 boys. The number of different teams consisting of 22 girls and 33 boys that can be formed from this class, if there are two specific boys AA and B,B, who refuse to be the members of the same team, is:

Options

  1. A300300
  2. B200200
  3. C500500
  4. D350350

Correct answer

A. 300300

Step-by-step solution

\left7B5G\begin{array}{ll}7B \\ 5G\end{array}\right\} \to\left(3B2G\begin{array}{ll}3B \\ 2G\end{array}\right)

Total number of ways of forming a team of 33 boys and 22 girls =7C3×5C2== {}^{7}{C}_{3} \times {}^{5}{C}_{2} =\dfrac{7.6 . 5}{1.2 . 3} \times \dfrac{5.4}{1.2} =350350

Total number of ways of forming a team if two specific boys B1,B2{B}_{1}, {B}_{2} always join the team

$= {}^{5}{C}_{1} \times {}^{5}{C}_{2} = 50

So, the total number of ways of forming a team so that two specific boys never come together

= 350 - 50 = 300
