Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 : 63

Formula used:

If we have a group of 'n' objects out of which we make a selection taking 'r' object at a time, then the number of such selections is given by the combination formula

nCr = n!/(r!(n – r!))

Calculation:

Number of groups can be formed by 5 men and 2 women out of 7 men and 3 women

7C5 × 3C2

⇒ 7!/(5! × (7 – 5)!) × 3!/(2! × (3 – 2)!)

⇒ 7!/(5! × 2!) × 3!/(2! × 1!)

⇒ (7 × 6 × 5!)/(5! × 2) × (3 × 2!)/(2!)

⇒ (7 × 3) × (3)

⇒ 63

∴ The number of ways to arrange men and women is 63
