- Since we require exactly 3 girls ,therefore total ways are (4C4*5C3)+(4C3*5C3)+(4C2*5C3)+(4C1*5C3)+(4C0*5C3)=160 WAYS

- ans 160
5c3(1+4C1+4C2+4C3+4C4) - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 9 friends : 5Girls and 4Boys
Use permutation concept
Selecting exactly 3 girls out of 5 : 5c3 = 5!/(5-3)!*3! = 10 ways
Selecting boys : 4C0 + 4C1 + 4C2 + 4C3 + 4C4 = 16 ways
Total ways = 10*16 = 160 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- Out of the 5 girls, 3 girls can be invited in 5C3 ways.
He can invite one, two, three, four or even no boys. Out of 4 boys, he can invite them in the said manner in (2)4 ways.
Thus, the total number of ways is 5C3 × (2)4 = 10 × 16 = 160. - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- He can select three girls in 5C3 ways = 10 ways.
He can select boys in [4C0 + 4C1 + 4C2 + 4C3 + 4C4] ways = 16 ways.
Total number of ways = 10*16 = 160 Answer. - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
