Given number of boys = 9
Number of girls = 4
Now, A committee of 7 has to be formed from 9 boys and 4 girls.
1. If in committee consist of exactly 3 girls:
4C3 * 9C4
= {4! / (3! * 1!)} * {9! / (4! * 5!)}
= {(4*3!) /3!} * {(9*8*7*6*5!) / (4! * 5!)}
= 4 * {(9*8*7*6*) / 4!}
= {4 * (9*8*7*6*)} / (4*3*2*1)
= 9*8*7
= 504
2. If committee consists of atleast 3 girls:
4C3 * 9C4 + 4C4 * 9C3
= [{4! / (3! * 1!)} * {9! / (4! * 5!)}] + 9C3
= [{(4*3!) /3!} * {(9*8*7*6*5!) / (4! * 5!)}] + 9! /(3! * 6!)
= [4 * {(9*8*7*6*) / 4!}] + (9*8*7*6!)/(3! * 6!)
= [{4 * (9*8*7*6*)} / (4*3*2*1)] + (9*8*7)/3!
= (9*8*7) + (9*8*7)/(3*2*1)
= 504 + (504/6)
= 504 + 84
= 588
3. If committee consists of atmost 3 girls:
= 4C0 * 9C7 + 4C1 * 9C6 + 4C2 * 9C5 + 4C3 * 9C4
= 36 + 336 + 756 + 504
= 1632
