Question -

From 4 officers and 8 jawans in how many ways can 6 be chosen (i) to include exactly one officer (ii) to include at least one officer?



Answer -

Given:

Total number ofofficers = 4

Total number of jawans= 8

Total number ofselection to be made is 6

(i) to include exactly oneofficer

Number of ways = (no.of ways of choosing 1 officer from 4 officers) × (no. of ways of choosing 5jawans from 8 jawans)

= (4C1)× (8C5)

By using the formula,

nCr = n!/r!(n – r)!

(ii) to include at leastone officer?

Number of ways =(total no. of ways of choosing 6 persons from all 12 persons) – (no. of ways ofchoosing 6 persons without any officer)

12C6 – 8C6

By using the formula,

nCr = n!/r!(n – r)!

= (11×2×3×2×7) – (4×7)

= 924 – 28

= 896 ways

 The required no.of ways are 224 and 896.
