Hi everyone! My first train of thought was to leave one woman apart from the calculation, as there must always be one in the committee and figure out how to group the rest, such as 9C4. This clearly was wrong, as the answer wasn't even in the answer choices, but I'm still confused where I went wrong. Kudos to someone that can help me.

In how many ways can a committee of 5 members be formed from 4 women and 6 men such that at least 1 woman is a member of the committee?

(A) 112
(B) 156
(C) 208
(D) 246
(E) 252


The total no. of ways will be
4C1*6C4 [1 woman and 4 men] + 4C2*6C3 [2 women and 3 men] + 4C3*6C2 [3 women and 2 men] + 4C4*6C1 [4 women and 1 man]
= 60+120+120+6 = 246

Hence D
