Math Problem Statement
Out of 4 girls and 7 boys group, In how many ways can a team of 5 members be selected if the team has no girls?
Solution
We are given a group of 4 girls and 7 boys, and we need to select a team of 5 members such that no girls are included. In other words, the team must consist of only boys.
Since there are 7 boys in total, and the team must have 5 members, we need to select 5 boys from the 7 boys. The number of ways to choose 5 boys out of 7 is given by the combination formula:
The formula for combinations is:
Now, apply it to our case:
Thus, the number of ways to select a team of 5 members with no girls is 21.

Tip:
For problems involving selection with restrictions, breaking the group into smaller subgroups (e.g., girls and boys) and handling each separately simplifies the calculation.
