There are 8 students. 4 of them are men and 4 of them are women. If 4 students are selected from the 8 students. What is the probability that the number of men is equal to that of women?  Choose the most appropriate option:
A) 18 / 35
B) 16 / 35
C) 14 / 35
D) 13 / 35
E) 12 / 35

Rationale: men = women means 2 men 2 women total such combinations = 4 c 2 * 4 c 2 = 4 ! / 2 ! . 2 ! * 4 ! / 2 ! . 2 ! = 6 * 6 total combinations = 8 c 4 = 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 / 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 70 so probability = 36 / 70 = 18 / 35 hence a
Answer: A
