Answer: 38,760

Explanation:

Given: Total number of students = 20

The number of students selected from student council= 6

The number of possible committees can be formed will be given by using combinations , we get


^(20)C_6=(20!)/(6!(20-6)!)\\\\=(20\cdot19\cdot18\cdot17\cdot16\cdot15\cdot14!)/(6!14!)=38,760

Hence, The number of possible committees can be formed= 38,760
