A committee consists of 5 boys namely: Kofi, John, Ojo, Ozo and James and 3 girls namely: Rose, Ugo and Ama. In how many ways can a sub-committee consisting of 3 boys and 2 girls be chosen, if Ozo must be on the sub-committee?

A.

35

B.

30

C.

18

D.

12

Correct answer is C

Since Ozo is a boy and must be in the sub-committee, we have 2 spaces for the boys and 2 for the girls.

= 4C2×3C2

= 4!(42)!2!×3!(32)!2!=6×3=18
