Answer :

Given:

There are a group of ‘10’ women and ‘10’ men

We will find the number of ways to choose a committee of 5 men and 4 women

We will use the combinations to solve the problem:

The general formula of the combinations is:

[tex]^nC_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!\cdot r!}[/tex]

First, we will find the number of ways to choose 5 men from 10 men

So, the number of ways =

[tex]^{10}C_5=\frac{10!}{(10-5)!\cdot5!}=\frac{10!}{5!\cdot5!}=252[/tex]

Second, we will find the number of ways to choose 4 women from 10 women

So, the number of ways =

[tex]^{10}C_4=\frac{10!}{(10-4)!\cdot4!}=\frac{10!}{6!\cdot4!}=210[/tex]

Finally, the total number of ways will be =

[tex]^{10}C_5\times^{10}C_4=252\times210=52,920[/tex]

So, the answer will be 52,920
