Answer:
Correct Answer: 10. (a)
Solution:
- We have, 6 girls and 4 boys. To select 4 members (atmost one boy)
i.e. ( 1 boy and 3 girls) or (4 girls) $={ }^{6} C _3{ }^{4} C _1+{ }^{6} C _4$
Now, selection of captain from 4 members $={ }^{4} C _1$
$\therefore$ Number of ways to select 4 members (including the selection of a captain, from these 4 members) $=\left({ }^{6} C _3 \cdot{ }^{4} C _1+{ }^{6} C _4\right){ }^{4} C _1$
$$ =(20 \times 4+15) \times 4=380 $$
