The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how many ways Ajay and his wife Kajol can invite 3 men and 3 women from their relatives, we will break it down into cases based on the distribution of men and women from each side. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the relatives**: - Ajay has 3 men and 4 women. - Kajol has 4 men and 3 women. 2. **Total invitation requirement**: - They need to invite a total of 3 men and 3 women. - Out of these, 3 must be Ajay's relatives and 3 must be Kajol's relatives. 3. **Case Analysis**: We will analyze the different cases based on the distribution of men and women from each side. **Case 1**: 3 women from Ajay's side and 3 men from Kajol's side. - Women from Ajay's side: Choose 3 from 4 women. \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{4}{3} = 4 \] - Men from Kajol's side: Choose 3 from 4 men. \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{4}{3} = 4 \] - Total for Case 1: \[ 4 \times 4 = 16 \] **Case 2**: 2 women from Ajay's side and 1 man from Ajay's side, and 3 women from Kajol's side. - Women from Ajay's side: Choose 2 from 4 women. \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{4}{2} = 6 \] - Men from Ajay's side: Choose 1 from 3 men. \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{3}{1} = 3 \] - Women from Kajol's side: Choose 3 from 3 women. \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{3}{3} = 1 \] - Total for Case 2: \[ 6 \times 3 \times 1 = 18 \] **Case 3**: 1 woman from Ajay's side and 2 men from Ajay's side, and 2 women from Kajol's side and 1 man from Kajol's side. - Women from Ajay's side: Choose 1 from 4 women. \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{4}{1} = 4 \] - Men from Ajay's side: Choose 2 from 3 men. \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{3}{2} = 3 \] - Women from Kajol's side: Choose 2 from 3 women. \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{3}{2} = 3 \] - Men from Kajol's side: Choose 1 from 4 men. \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{4}{1} = 4 \] - Total for Case 3: \[ 4 \times 3 \times 3 \times 4 = 144 \] **Case 4**: 0 women from Ajay's side and 3 men from Ajay's side, and 3 women from Kajol's side and 0 men from Kajol's side. - Men from Ajay's side: Choose 3 from 3 men. \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{3}{3} = 1 \] - Women from Kajol's side: Choose 3 from 3 women. \[ \text{Ways} = \binom{3}{3} = 1 \] - Total for Case 4: \[ 1 \times 1 = 1 \] 4. **Total Number of Ways**: Now, we sum the total ways from all cases: \[ 16 + 18 + 144 + 1 = 179 \] ### Final Answer: The total number of ways they can invite 3 men and 3 women is **179**. ---
