From (7) boys and (5) girls (5) students are to be selected with exactly (3) boys. How many ways are there?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 350

With exactly 3 boys, the remaining 2 selected students must be girls. The number of ways to choose 3 of the 7 boys is \(\binom{7}{3}=35\), and the number of ways to choose 2 of the 5 girls is \(\binom{5}{2}=10\). Therefore, the total number of selections is \(\binom{7}{3}\binom{5}{2}=35\times10=350\). Since the order of selection does not matter, combinations—not permutations—are used. Exam tip: when a question says “exactly,” first fix the required number from each group.
