Correct answer: 1120
-
We need to form a group of 3 boys and 3 girls from:
- boys:
- girls:
-
The condition is: and should not be together in the group.
-
First, count all possible groups without restriction.
Number of ways to choose boys from :
Number of ways to choose girls from :
So total unrestricted groups:
-
Now count the groups in which both and are together.
If both and are included among the boys, then the third boy must be chosen from the remaining boys:
The girls can still be chosen in:
Hence, number of invalid groups:
-
Therefore, required number of groups:
-
