Correct answer: 777
- Classify the players
There are:
- bowlers
- batsmen
- wicketkeepers
We need to form a team of such that it contains:
- at least bowlers
- at least batsmen
- at least wicketkeeper
Let the selected numbers be:
- bowlers
- batsmen
- wicketkeepers
Then with constraints Also,
- Find all possible compositions
Since minimum required players are: we need extra player beyond the minimum.
So distribute this extra among bowlers, batsmen, wicketkeepers, respecting upper limits.
Possible cases:
These are the only valid possibilities.
- Count selections for each case
Case 1:
Choose:
- bowlers from :
- batsmen from :
- wicketkeepers from :
Number of ways:
Case 2:
Choose:
- bowlers from :
- batsmen from :
- wicketkeeper from :
Number of ways:
Case 3:
Choose:
- bowlers from :
- batsmen from :
- wicketkeeper from :
Number of ways:
- Add all cases
Total number of valid teams:
- Final Answer
The number of ways is
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer =
Our derived answer also equals , so they agree.
