You can put this solution on YOUR website!

here we have to find no. of groups in which at least one girl

i.e from total no. of groups discard those groups in which only boys.


no. of ways to selecting 4 from total 22 = 22C4

no. of ways to selecting 4 boys from total 10 boys = 10C4


total possible ways = 22C4 - 10C4 = 7315 - 210 = 7105


answer is: 7105
