A team of 3 tennis players is to be finalized from a group of 2 male and 3 female. In how many ways this can be done and how many teams which consist of 1 male and 2 female?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Total teams of 3 from 5 people =(53)=10= \binom{5}{3} = 10.

Teams with exactly 1 male and 2 females =(21)×(32)=2×3=6= \binom{2}{1} \times \binom{3}{2} = 2 \times 3 = 6.

So the answer is 10 and 6.
