(A) 76 (B) 100 (C) 162 (D) 198 (E) 202
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

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

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??

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 .
