A committee of (5) members is to be formed from (14) members with (2) fixed members included. How many ways are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (220)

The direct answer is option A, 220. Two specified members must be included, so they occupy two of the five committee places automatically. We must select the remaining \(5-2=3\) members from the other \(14-2=12\) members. Order does not matter in a committee, so the count is \(\binom{12}{3}=\frac{12\times11\times10}{3\times2\times1}=220\). Option A is correct. Option B, 364, equals \(\binom{14}{3}\) and ignores the compulsory-inclusion condition. Option C, 1001, equals \(\binom{14}{?}\) for a different selection size and is not the required count. Option D, 2002, also overcounts and does not follow the fixed-member method. The safe method is: fix the required members, find how many places remain, find how many people remain available, and then use a combination. Memory cue: committee selection ignores order, and compulsory members reduce both numbers.
