If a cricket team of 11 players is to be selected from 8 batsman, 6 bowlers, 4 all-rounder and 2 wicket-keepers, then the number of selections when at most 1 all-rounder and 1 wicket-keeper will play is
A.4C1.14C10+2C1.14C20+4C12C1+14C11
B.4C1.15C11+15C11
C.4C1.15C10+15C11
D.4C1.2C114C9+14C11
Solution
In the case of combination, we attach no importance to the order of things in a group. The number of permutations of n objects taken r at a time is determined by the following formula: P(n,r)=n! (n−r)! The code has 4 digits in a specific order, the digits are between 0-9.
Complete step-by-step answer:
Step1: Total number of players selected for cricket team =11
Number of batsman = 8
Number of bowlers = 6
Number of all-rounder = 4
number of wicket-keeper = 2
Arrangements when almost 1 all-rounder and 1 wicket-keeper.
Step2: when 1 all-rounder and 10 players from bowlers and batsman play number of ways
4C1.14C10
When one wicketkeeper and 10 players from bowlers and batsman play
Number of ways = 2C1.14C10
When one all-rounder and one wicket-keeper and 9 from the batsman and bowlers play
Number of ways = 4C1.2C1.14C9
When all eleven players play from bowlers and batsman
Number of ways =14C11
∴ total number of selections = 4C1.14C10+2C1.14C10+14C11= 14C11+4C1.2C1.14C11
So (A) is the correct answer.
Note: A group or a selection, which can be formed by taking some or all of the number of objects irrespective of the order of their arrangement is called a combination.
C(n,r)ornCrdenoted as the number of combinations of n objects, taken r at a time.
