- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Total number of people is .
Total number of ways to select a committee of members is ^{11}C_{6} = 462 ladies (i.e., or lady) is ^{4}C_{0} \times ^{7}C_{6} + ^{4}C_{1} \times ^{7}C_{5}
^{4}C_{1} \times ^{7}C_{5} = 4 \times 21 = 84 ladies is .
Number of ways to form a committee with at least ladies is .
Required probability is .
