A committee is to have four members. There are seven men and six women available to serve on the committee. How many different committees can be formed?
------
men/women
0/4----- 6C4 = 6C2 = 15 ways
1/3----- 7*6C3 = 7*20 = 140 ways
2/2----- 7C2*6C2 = 21*15 = 315 ways
3/1----- 7C3*6C1 = 210 ways
4/0----- 7C4*1 = 35 ways
========================
Total:: 15+140+315+210+35 = 715 ways
