1. From 7 boys and 5 girls, 6 are to be selected for admission for a particular course. In how many ways can this be done if there must be exactly 3 girls?

  • A. 350
  • B. 350
  • C. 350
  • D. 350

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Ways of 3 girls to be selected from 5 girls =  5C3

Ways of (6 - 3 = 3) boys to be selected from 7 boys = 7C3

Total ways of selection = 5C3×7C3  = {(5×4×3)/(1×2×3})×{(7×6×5)/(1×2×3)} = 10×35 = 350
