Answer:

Correct Answer: 1. (c)

Solution:

  1. It is given that a group of students comprises of 5 boys and n girls. The number of ways, in which a team of 3 students can be selected from this group such that each team consists of at least one boy and at least one girls, is = (number of ways selecting one boy and 2 girls) + (number of ways selecting two boys and 1 girl)

=(5C1×nC2)(5C2×nC1)=1750 [given] 5×n(n1)2+5×42×n=1750n(n1)+4n=25×1750n2+3n=2×350n2+3n700=0n2+28n25n700=0n(n+28)25(n+28)=0(n+28)(n25)=0n=25[nN]
