Hi sumankwan.

From 8 people we have to choose 4.

Now Bob has to be there, so we have 7 people left out of which 3 have to be selected.

Ted is there in these 7 people, so he has to be excluded. Now we have 6 people left out of which 3 has to be chose = 6C3 = \(\frac{6 * 5 * 4}{3 * 2}\) = 20 possibilities


Option A

Hope this helps
