Step-by-step solution
\left\right\} \to\left(\right)
Total number of ways of forming a team of boys and girls \dfrac{7.6 . 5}{1.2 . 3} \times \dfrac{5.4}{1.2} =
Total number of ways of forming a team if two specific boys 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
