    formed from 5 men and 6 women?
    A 150 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 140 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The number of ways to select 3 men from 5 men = C(5, 3) = 5! / (3!(5-3)!) = (5 × 4 × 3) / (3 × 2 × 1) = 10. The number of ways to select 2 women from 6 women = C(6, 2) = 6! / (2!(6-2)!) = (6 × 5) / (2 × 1) = 15. Total number of ways = 10 × 15 = 150. Correct answer: a. 150
