Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 8550

Given:

Total number of professors = 10

Total number of students = 20

Committee consists of 2 professors and 2 students

Number of ways to form a committee

Formula used:

nCr = n!/ [r! (n – r)!]

Calculation:

Select 2 committee members from professors and 2 committee members from students.

10C2 × 20C2 = [(10!)/(2! × 8!)] [(20!)/ ( 2! × 18!)]

⇒ [(10 × 9 × 8!)/ (2! × 8!)] [(20 × 19 × 18!)/ 2! × 18!]

⇒ 45 × 190

⇒ 8550 ways

Total number of ways to form a committee is 8550
