men= 6
women = 4
select total 5 people

we need at least 1 women.
in that scenario we would have to consider 3 different scenario. thats more time consuming.
so we will go the other way and rather select all 5 men and then subtract from overall ways of selecting 5 people from given 10.

so ways to select 5 from 10 = 10C5 = 6*42

now to select 5 men from 6. 6C5= 6

(42*6) - 6
6*41
246

option B
