Consider the question. A committee has 5 men and 6 women. What are the number of ways of selecting a group of eight persons?
Options:
(A) 165
(B) 185
(C) 205
(D) 225
(E) 245
What is the step-by-step reasoning process to arrive at the answer: (A)?
Total number of persons in the committee = 5 + 6 = 11
Number of ways of selecting group of eight persons = C = C = (11 * 10 * 9)/(3 * 2) = 165 ways.
