From 5 boys and 3 girls, 3 students are to be selected with at least 1 girl. How many selections are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 46

The governing concept is combinations with a complementary condition. Because a selection is a group, not an arrangement, order does not matter. There are 8 students altogether, so the total number of selections of 3 is C(8,3) = 56. The condition “at least 1 girl” excludes only selections containing no girl, that is, selections of 3 boys from the 5 boys. Their number is C(5,3) = 10. Hence the required number is 56 − 10 = 46. Direct verification gives C(3,1)C(5,2) + C(3,2)C(5,1) + C(3,3)C(5,0) = 30 + 15 + 1 = 46. Therefore option C is correct. Option D counts all selections and wrongly includes the ten all-boy groups; the other values do not satisfy the condition.
