In how many ways can a committee of (3) members be selected from (9) members?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (84)

The direct answer is option C: 84 committees. A committee is a group, not an ordered arrangement. Therefore choosing A, B, C is the same committee as choosing C, B, A. We select 3 members from 9 without assigning posts, so use combinations: \(\binom{9}{3}=\frac{9\times8\times7}{3\times2\times1}=84\). Option C is correct. Option A, 27, is not the value of this combination. Option B, 72, also does not result from the correct formula. Option D, 504, is \({}^{9}P_3\), which counts orders and therefore counts each committee six times. Since \(3!=6\), \(504\div6=84\). The absence of named positions is the key fact. Memory cue: committee or team selection without roles means combination; arrangement or post assignment means permutation.
