D) 15
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
As discussed in Q 12, the two Accounts Assistants taken must be (A, B) or (B, C). If D is selected along with (A, B), then neither F nor G can be selected. So, E and H must be selected and the team becomes A, B, D, E, H. If D is not selected and E is selected along with (A, B), then the remaining two Accounts Officers selected may be (F, G) or (G, H) or (F, H). Thus, the possible teams are A, d, E, F, G; A, B E, G, H and A, B E, F. H. If neither D nor E is selected, then F, G and H may be selected along with (A, B) and the team becomes A, B, F, G, H. If (B, C) is selected, then E cannot be selected. So, three Accounts Officers have to be selected from amongst D, F, G and H. But, if D is selected. Thus, the team becomes B, C, F, G, H. Thus, the total number of possible teams is 6 - (A, B, D, E, H); (A, B, E, F, G); (A, B, E, G, H); (A, B, E, F, H); (A, B, F, G, H); (B, C, F, G, H).You need to login to perform this action.
