There are 5 students in class 10,6 students in class 11 and 8 students in class 12. If the number of ways, in which 10 students can be selected from them so as to include at least 2 students from each class and at most 5 students from the total 11 students of class 10 and 11 is 100k, then k is equal to

Solution

Class 10th 11th 12th Total student 568

From these students, we can choose two students from class 10, three students from class 11 & 5 students from class 12.

So, total number of ways  is C25×C36×C58

Again, From these students, we can choose two students from class 10, two students from class 11 & 6 students from class 12.

Number of selection =C25×C26×C68

Again, from these students, we can choose three students from class 10, two students from class 11 & 5 students from class 12. So, total number of ways  is  C35×C26×C58

Total number of ways =C25×C36×C58+C25×C26×C68+C35×C26×C58 =C25×C36×C38+C25×C26×C28+C25×C26×C38

=5×42×1×6×5×43×2×1×8×7×63×2×1+5×42×1×6×52×1×8×72×1+5×42×1×6×52×1×8×7×63×2×1

=23800

According to question 100k=23800

k=238
