From (12) players (6) players are to be selected and exactly (2) of (3) special players are selected. How many ways are there?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (378)

Direct answer: Option C, 378 ways. Since only the members selected matter, not their order, use combinations. Exactly 2 of the 3 special players are required: \(\binom{3}{2}=3\). Six players are selected altogether, so the remaining number is \(6-2=4\). There are \(12-3=9\) non-special players, and 4 can be chosen in \(\binom{9}{4}=126\) ways. Hence the multiplication rule gives \(\binom{3}{2}\binom{9}{4}=3\times126=378\). Option A, 252, misses or miscounts some valid choices. Option B, 315, is not the product required by the two independent choices. Option C, 378, correctly counts every choice with exactly two special players. Option D, 504, is too large and represents overcounting. Exam cue: subtract the special group from the total before choosing the remaining players.
