One Answer on this Question

  1. The number of ways of selecting a group of eight is
    5 men and 3 women=5C5โ€‹ร—6C3โ€‹ =20
    4 men and 4 women=5C4โ€‹ร—6C4โ€‹ =75
    3 men and 5 women=5C3โ€‹ร—6C5โ€‹=60
    2 men and 6 women=5C2โ€‹ร—6C6โ€‹=10
    Thus the total possible cases is 20+75+60+10=165.
