A) 123 B) 113
C) 246 D) 945
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 246

Explanation:

A Committee of 5 persons is to be formed from 6 gentlemen and 4 ladies by taking. 

 

(i) 1 lady out of 4 and 4 gentlemen out of 6 

(ii) 2 ladies out of 4 and 3 gentlemen out of 6 

(iii) 3 ladies out of 4 and 2 gentlemen out of 6 

(iv) 4 ladies out of 4 and 1 gentlemen out of 6 

 

In case I the number of ways = C14×C46 = 4 x 15 = 60 

In case II the number of ways = C24×C36 = 6 x 20 = 120 

In case III the number of ways = C34×C26 = 4 x 15 = 60

In case IV the number of ways = C44×C16 = 1 x 6 = 6 

 

Hence, the required number of ways = 60 + 120 + 60 + 6 = 246
