    Consider a class of 5 girls and 7 boys. The number of different teams consisting of 2 girls and 3 boys that can be formed from this class, if there are two specific boys A and B, who refuse to be members of the same team, is:

    A) 200                              

    B) 300

    C) 500                              

    D) 350

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Number of different teams consisting of 2 girls (out of 5) and 3 boys (out of 7)\[=\,({}^{5}{{C}_{2}}\times {{\,}^{7}}{{C}_{2}})\]out of these.
    Number of teams consisting of 2 specific boys A and B \[=\,({}^{5}{{C}_{2}}\times {{\,}^{2}}{{C}_{2}}\times {}^{5}{{C}_{1}})\]
    Answer \[=\,({}^{5}{{C}_{2}}\times {{\,}^{7}}{{C}_{3}})\,-({}^{5}{{C}_{2}}\times {}^{5}{{C}_{1}})\]\[=\,{}^{5}{{C}_{2}}\times {{(}^{7}}{{C}_{3}}-{}^{5}{{C}_{1}})\]\[=10\times \,(35-5)\,=\,300\]
