Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(380\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Case I: No boy is included.
Selecting 4 girls from 6 girls \(={ }^6 \mathrm{C}_4\)
Selecting 1 captain from selected members \(={ }^4 \mathrm{C}_1\)
Total number of ways \(={ }^6 \mathrm{C}_4 \times{ }^4 \mathrm{C}_1=60\)
Case II: One boy is included.
Selecting 3 girls and 1 boy from given members \(={ }^6 \mathrm{C}_3 \times{ }^4 \mathrm{C}_1\).
Selecting 1 captain from the selected members \(={ }^4 \mathrm{C}_1\).
Total Number of ways \(={ }^6 \mathrm{C}_3 \times{ }^4 \mathrm{C}_1 \times{ }^4 \mathrm{C}_1=320\).
\(\therefore \) Total Number of ways \(=320+60=380\).
