Answer:

5 a) Number of groups of 20 that can be formed

= 25C20

\small = \frac{25!}{5!*20!}

= 53130

b) Number of different meals possible = 2*7*3 = 42

Answer:

101 i think.

Explanation:

My logic is:

make an initial group of 20, this will be G1. That is one group. Then, swap one of the remaining 5 for one of the 20. That makes 20 more groups for each person. 5*20=100, plus the first group, G1, makes 101 groups.
