A group consists of 4 men, 6 women and 5 children. In how many ways can 2 men , 3 women and 1 child selected from the given group?
Correct answer: B. 600
- A. 300
- B. 600
- C. 750
- D. 900
Explanation
The selections are ⁴C₂ = 6 ways for men, ⁶C₃ = 20 ways for women, and ⁵C₁ = 5 ways for the child. Multiplying independent choices gives 6 x 20 x 5 = 600 ways. The likely trap is 750, which comes from miscounting one of the combinations.

About Sequences and Series
Sequences describe ordered terms formed by a pattern, while series represent the sum of those terms. Questions cover arithmetic and geometric sequences, their nth terms, common difference or ratio, finite sums, and applications, with the sequence itself kept distinct from the corresponding series.
