Given: A committee of k members was formed from the n members of a certain company's board of directors. Each member of the committee sent exactly one email summarizing his or her perspective on the committee's findings to each board member who was not a member of the committee, and to no one else. The total number of these email summaries sent was 35.
Asked: Select values for k and for n that are jointly consistent with the given information. Make only two selections, one in each column.
Total number of email summaries = k(n-k) = 35 = 5*7
If k = 5; n = 12; k(n-k) = 5*7 = 35
