Answer : Since a committee is to be formed of 2 teachers and 3 students

  • When a particular teacher is included

No. of ways in which committee can be formed = 9C1    20C3

= 9720 ways

  • A particular student is included

Since a particular student is always selected so ways of selecting 2 teachers and 2 students from 10 and 19 respect. is = 10C2     19C2 ways

= 7695 ways

  • A particular student is excluded

Since 1 particular student is excluded so, ways of selecting 2 teachers and 3 students from 10 and 19 respt. is = 10C2               19C3 ways

= 43605 ways
