a committee of 4 people is chosen from 6 women and 6 men. how many different committees are possible that consist of 2 women and 2 men?



Answer :

A total of 900 committees are possible that consist of 2 women and 2 men.

To find how many different committees are possible we have to use the concept of multiplication in permutation.

The Multiplication Principle states that if an event can happen in m different ways and a second event can happen in n different ways after the first has happened, then the two events can happen in m*n different ways. This is also referred to as the Basic Counting Principle.

We have a total of 6 women and 6 men.

We have to form a committee of 4 people that consists of 2 women and 2 men.

2 men from 6 men = 6C2

2 women from 6 women = 6C2

combining both with the multiplication principle.

6C2*6C2 = 30*30 = 900.

A total of 900 committees are possible.
