In how many ways can a team of 11 players be formed out of 25 years, If six out of them are always to be included and five always to be excluded ?
A) 2020
B) 2002
C) 2008
D) 8002
Solution
In this question we have to select the number of players according to the given data in the question. As we can see, the above question is related to Permutation and Combination. The combination is a way of selecting items from a collection or we can say the grouping of outcomes.
So in this question we will use the formula for the number of ways for selecting r things from n group of people. The formula of combination is given as;
nCr=r!(n−r)!n!.
So we will use this formula to solve the given problem.
We will first include the six players and then we have to exclude the five players. So Total of these players are
6+5=11
We will subtract this from the total players and then we apply the formula.
Complete step by step answer:
In the given question we have total number of players
25
Out of them we have to include 6 players and exclude 5 players always, total of these are 6+5=11 players.
So we have left with number of players i.e.
25−11=14 players.
Now we should note that we have to form a total of 11 players.
We have already included 6 players in the above, so we have included five more players out of the remaining 14 players.
So, five players are to be chosen from 14, we have :
14C5
By comparing from the formula we have here,
n=14,r=5
We can break the value by applying the formula i.e.
5!(14−5)!14!
We will now break the values and simplify this:
5×4×3×2×9!14×13×12×11×10×9!=5×4×3×214×13×12×11×10
On multiplying it gives us the value
14×13×11=2002
Hence, the correct option is (B) 2002.
Note:
We should note that for selection purposes we use combination and for arranging the values we use the permutation. We should know that if the order does not matter then we use the combination formula as in the above question, but if the order does matter then we use the permutation formula. The value of permutation is denoted by nPr.
The formula of permutation is:
(n−r)!n!
