Correct option is D 3 ladies out of 8 can be selected in 8C3 ways and 4 gentlemen out of 7 in 7C4 ways. Now each way of selecting 3 ladies is associated with each way of selecting 4 gentlemen. Hence, the required number of ways =8C3×7C4=56×35=1960. We now find the number of committee of 3 ladies and 4 gentlemen in which both Mrs X and Mr Y are member. In this case we can select 2 other ladies from the remaining 7 in 7C2 ways and 3 other gentlemen from the remaining 6 in 6C3 ways. ∴ The number of ways in which both Mrs X and Mr Y are always included =7C2×8C3=21×20=420 Hence the required number of committee in which Mrs X And Mr Y do not serve together= 1960-420 = 1540
