Correct answer: C
- Compute
We need a 5-member committee with exactly 3 boys and 2 girls.
From 6 boys, choose 3:
From 5 girls, choose 2:
Hence,
So, in List-II:
- Compute
Committee has at least 2 members and equal number of boys and girls.
If the number of boys equals the number of girls, let each be . Then total members .
Since there are 5 girls, can be:
Now count for each case:
-
For :
-
For :
-
For :
-
For :
-
For :
Therefore,
So,
- Compute
We need a 5-member committee with at least 2 girls.
Possible girl counts are 2, 3, 4, 5.
Case 1: 2 girls, 3 boys
Case 2: 3 girls, 2 boys
Case 3: 4 girls, 1 boy
Case 4: 5 girls, 0 boys
Thus,
So,
- Compute
We need a 4-member committee with at least 2 girls, and both and are not together.
First count all 4-member committees with at least 2 girls. Then subtract those containing both and .
Total committees with at least 2 girls
Possible compositions:
- 2 girls, 2 boys
- 3 girls, 1 boy
- 4 girls, 0 boys
So,
Committees containing both and
We already have 2 members fixed: . Need 2 more members, with overall at least 2 girls.
Now count valid ways:
Subcase A: total 2 girls, 2 boys
Since is already one girl and one boy, choose:
- 1 more girl from remaining 4 girls
- 1 more boy from remaining 5 boys
Count:
Subcase B: total 3 girls, 1 boy
Need 2 more girls from remaining 4 girls:
Subcase C: total 4 girls, 0 boys
Impossible because is already included.
Hence committees containing both and :
Therefore,
So,
- Match with List-II
We obtained:
This matches:
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer = C.
Our derived answer is also C, so they agree.
