In how many ways can a football team of 11 players be selected from 16 players? How many of these will (i) Include 2 particular players? (ii) Exclude 2 particular players?



Answer -

Given:

Total number ofplayers = 16

Number of players tobe selected = 11

So, the combinationis┬а16C11

By using the formula,

nCr┬а= n!/r!(n тАУ r)!

16C11┬а= 16! / 11! (16 тАУ 11)!

= 16! / (11! 5!)

= [16├Ч15├Ч14├Ч13├Ч12├Ч11!]/ (11! 5!)

= [16├Ч15├Ч14├Ч13├Ч12] /(5├Ч4├Ч3├Ч2├Ч1)

= 4├Ч7├Ч13├Ч12

= 4368

(i) Include 2particular players?

It is told that twoplayers are always included.

Now, we have to select9 players out of the remaining 14 players as 2 players are already selected.

Number of ways =┬а14C9

14C9┬а= 14! / 9! (14 тАУ 9)!

= 14! / (9! 5!)

= [14├Ч13├Ч12├Ч11├Ч10├Ч9!]/ (9! 5!)

= [14├Ч13├Ч12├Ч11├Ч10] /(5├Ч4├Ч3├Ч2├Ч1)

= 7├Ч13├Ч11├Ч2

= 2002

(ii) Exclude 2particular players?

It is told that twoplayers are always excluded.

Now, we have to select11 players out of the remaining 14 players as 2 players are already removed.

Number of ways =┬а14C9

14C11┬а= 14! / 11! (14 тАУ 11)!

= 14! / (11! 3!)

= [14├Ч13├Ч12├Ч11!] /(11! 3!)

= [14├Ч13├Ч12] / (3├Ч2├Ч1)

= 14├Ч13├Ч2

= 364

тИ┤┬аThe required no.of ways are 4368, 2002, 364.
