Solutions of Question 5 and 6 of Exercise 6.3 of Unit 06: Permutation and Combination. This is unit of Model Textbook of Mathematics for Class XI published by National Book Foundation (NBF) as Federal Textbook Board, Islamabad, Pakistan.
Question 5(i)
In how many ways can 11 players be chosen out of 16 if there is no restriction.
Solution.
11 players out of 16 may be chosen in 16C11 ways.
i.e. 4368 ways are there to choose 11 players.
Question 5(ii)
In how many ways can 11 players be chosen out of 16 if a particular player is always chosen.
Solution.
If one player is always chosen then we can only choose 10 players out of 15 so-this time number of ways are
15C10=3003
Question 6
Out of 5 men and 3 women, a committee of 3 is to be formed. In how many ways can it be formed if t least one men is selected?
Solution.
Case I: If one man is chosen there will be two women in committee.
1 man may be selected 5C1 ways
and 2 women may be selected in 3C2 ways.
Total possible ways =5C1×3C2=5×3=15
Case II: If there are 2 men and one woman in committee.
Total possibilities =5C2×3C1=10×3=30
Case III: If there are 3 men and no woman in committee.
Total possible ways =5C3=10
Hence a committee of 3 having at least one man may be selected in 15+30+10=55 ways
