Explanation:

Complete Question

A committee consisting of 2 faculty members and 4 students is to be formed. Every committee position has the same duties and voting rights. There are 6 faculty members and 10 students eligible to serve on the committee. In how many ways can the committee be formed?

Solution

Total Faculty members = 6

Total Students = 10

Out of 6 faculty members, 2 will be chosen for the committee

While 4 students will be chosen out of 10 to be in the committee.

Hence,

Total number of ways of making the core committee = 6C2 * 10C4

= 15*210

= 3150
