Question

An equal number of juniors and seniors are trying out for six spots in this year's decathlon

Answer 1

There are 50 different possible debating teams that could be selected as obtained using COMBINATION.

Since there are EQUAL number of juniors and seniors ;

Then we have 5 of each.

Here, the order of arrangement DOES NOT matter, Hence, we use COMBINATION

since the team MUST contain 4 SENIORS and 2 JUNIORS

4 Seniors from 5  = 5C4 = 5

2 Juniors from 5 = 5C2 = 10

Hence, (5C4 * 5C2) = 5 * 10 = 50

Hence, there are 50 different possible debating teams that could be selected.
