A) 6000
B) 6010
C) 6062
D) 6005
E) None of these
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Since, there are 9 women and 8 men. So, a committee of 12 consisting of atleast 5 women can be formed by choosing. |
(i) 5 women and 7 men |
(ii) 6 women and 6 men |
(iii) 7 women and 5 men |
(iv) 8 Women and 4 men |
(v) 9 women and 3 men |
\[\therefore \] Total number of ways of forming the committee |
\[={}^{9}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{8}{{C}_{7}}+{}^{9}{{C}_{6}}\times {}^{8}{{C}_{6}}+{}^{9}{{C}_{7}}\times {}^{8}{{C}_{5}}\] |
\[+{}^{9}{{C}_{8}}\times {}^{8}{{C}_{4}}+{}^{9}{{C}_{9}}\times {}^{8}{{C}_{3}}\] |
\[=\,\,1008+2352+2016+630+56=6062\] |
