In a group of 6 boys and 4 girls, four children are to be selected. In how many different ways can they be selected such that at least one boy should be there?

  • A.159
  • B.194
  • C.205
  • D.209

Answer: D

There are ten children. "At least one boy" is easiest through the complement.

\[ \text{total} = {}^{10}C_{4} = 210 \]

\[ \text{no boy} = {}^{4}C_{4} = 1 \]

\[ 210 - 1 = 209 \]

With only four girls there is exactly one all-girl selection, so the complement is a single case.
