Answer:
150 different committees can be formed
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 6 boys and 5 girls and we want to select 5 members
Out of these 5 members, two boys are selected
Since two boys are selected, we are left with three girls
So, out of 6 boys, we select 2 boys and out of 5 girls, we select 3 girls
Mathematically, we know that the number of ways in which we can select r items from a total n follows the combinatorial formula;
nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!
With this, we have;
6C2 * 5C3
= (6!/(6-2)!2!) * (5!/(5-3)!3!) = 150 different committees can be formed
