A committee of 5 people is to be chosen from 6 midfielders, 3 attackers and 7 referees.
If each discipline must be represented, determine the number of ways of selecting
the committee to include:
(a) exactly one midfielder and one attacker.
(b) exactly two midfielders;
(c) at least two midfielders.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I will answer (a) and (b), leaving (c) for your own solution/exercise.

(a)  In this case, the committee is 1 midfielder, 1 attacker and 5-1-1 = 3 referees.

     THEREFORE, the number of possible committees is   = 6*3*35 = 630.   ANSWER



(b)  In this case, the committee is 2 midfielders and 3 persons from ((6+3+7)-2) = 14 other people.

     THEREFORE, the number of possible committees is   = 15*364 = 5460.   ANSWER

Solved.
