P(at least one Tech)= p(total) - P( no tech)

=13c3 - 9c3

=286 - 84

= 202 (E)

=13c3 - 9c3

=198 (ans D )



calculation seems to be wrong .. its 202 i guess

i put it differently
4C1 *9C2 + 4C2*9C1 + 4C3 = 202

We have 3 scenarios here:

1) 1 tech & 2 businessmen: 4C1 x 9C2 = 144
2) 2 tech & 1 businessman: 4C2 x 9C1 = 54
3) 3 tech & 0 businessmen: 4C3 = 4

Total: 144+54+4 = 202

Answer: E

Are there any shortcuts to avoid doing all the scenarios separately?

At least one Tech member is reqd.
Let us find out the tital ways in which 3 people can be selected (without any restrictions). Then we will find out combination when none of techies is selected.

At least once = (Total - None selected)

Total ways in which a team of 3 can be selected out of 13 persons: 13c3 = \(\frac{13!}{3!10!}\) = \(\frac{11*12*13}{6}\) = 286

Now suppose we dont want to selcet any Tech guy. Now we have to select 3 persons out of 9 persons: 9c3 = \(\frac{9!}{3!6!}\)
= \(\frac{9*8*7}{6}\) = 84

Answer: 286 - 84 = 202. E is the answer

I initially did 4C1*12C2 (=264), which is not in the options; therefore, used 13C3-9C3 (=202), which is the correct answer.

Not sure what I am doing wrong with the first method. Can someone tell me what i am doing wrong with 4C1*12C2??

Louis

take a simple example:A,B,C and D --4 tech guys
4C1*12C2
A (one mem out of 4) -- BD(two mem out of rest 12 ) --can be a team
B (one mem out of 4) -- AD(two mem out of rest 12) --can also be a team , but both team are same .
