A committee has 5 men and 6 women. What are the number of ways of selecting 2 men and 3 women from the given committee?

  • A.150
  • B.200
  • C.250
  • D.300

Answer: B

The two selections are independent, so their counts multiply.

\[ {}^{5}C_{2} \times {}^{6}C_{3} = 10 \times 20 = 200 \]

Order does not matter within either group, so combinations are used rather than permutations.
