Using combinations,
All possibilities = n C 2
Possibilities in which Michael is selected = 1C1 * (n-1)C1 = n - 1
Therefore possibilities in which Michael is not selected is the difference between these two
nC2 - (n-1)C1
[n (n-1) /2 ] - (n - 1)
n^2 - 3n - 108 = 0
n = 12 or -9
-9 not possible so n =12

Combination is when n > k the order doesn’t matter and there’s no repetition.
