Answer 2

Answer:

A. $^6C_1=6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The total number of people = 8,

The number of people have to chosen = 3,

Since, me and my friend both have to be chosen,

So, the remaining number of people = 8 - 2 = 6,

And, the number of remaining number of people have to be chosen = 3 - 2 = 1

Also, the order does not matter,

Hence, the total way of choosing = Total combination of me and my friend × total combination of choosing 1 person out of 6 people

$=^2C_2\times ^6C_1$

$=1\times ^6C_1$

$=6$

Option A is correct.
