There are 10 girls and 8 boys in a class...

There are 10 girls and 8 boys in a class room including Mr. Ravi, Ms. Rani and Ms. Radha. A list of speakers consisting of 8 girls and 6 boys has to be prepared. Mr. Ravi refuses to speak if Ms.Rani is a speaker. Ms. Rani refuses to speak if Ms. Radha is a speaker. The number of ways the list can be prepared is a 3 digit number `n_1n_2n_3`, then `|n_3 + n_2 - n_1|`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the conditions and calculate the number of ways to prepare the list of speakers. ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have 10 girls and 8 boys in total, including Mr. Ravi, Ms. Rani, and Ms. Radha. We need to prepare a list of 8 girls and 6 boys. However, there are restrictions based on who can speak. ### Step 2: Identify Cases Based on Conditions We will consider three cases based on the selections of Ms. Rani and Ms. Radha. 1. **Case 1: Ms. Rani is selected.** - If Ms. Rani is selected, Mr. Ravi cannot be selected. - We have already selected 1 girl (Ms. Rani), so we need to select 7 more girls from the remaining 9 girls. - The number of ways to select 7 girls from 9 is given by \( \binom{9}{7} \). - For boys, we need to select 6 from the 7 remaining boys (since Mr. Ravi cannot be selected). - The number of ways to select 6 boys from 7 is given by \( \binom{7}{6} \). - Therefore, the total for this case is: \[ \text{Case 1 Total} = \binom{9}{7} \times \binom{7}{6} = 36 \times 7 = 252. \] 2. **Case 2: Ms. Radha is selected.** - If Ms. Radha is selected, Ms. Rani cannot be selected. - We need to select 7 girls from the remaining 9 girls (since Ms. Rani is not included). - The number of ways to select 7 girls from 9 is \( \binom{9}{7} \). - For boys, we can select 6 boys from the 8 available boys. - The number of ways to select 6 boys from 8 is \( \binom{8}{6} \). - Therefore, the total for this case is: \[ \text{Case 2 Total} = \binom{9}{7} \times \binom{8}{6} = 36 \times 28 = 1008. \] 3. **Case 3: Neither Ms. Rani nor Ms. Radha is selected.** - We need to select 8 girls from the remaining 8 girls (since neither Ms. Rani nor Ms. Radha is included). - The number of ways to select 8 girls from 8 is \( \binom{8}{8} = 1 \). - For boys, we need to select 6 boys from the 8 available boys. - The number of ways to select 6 boys from 8 is \( \binom{8}{6} \). - Therefore, the total for this case is: \[ \text{Case 3 Total} = \binom{8}{8} \times \binom{8}{6} = 1 \times 28 = 28. \] ### Step 3: Calculate Total Ways Now, we sum the totals from all three cases: \[ \text{Total Ways} = \text{Case 1 Total} + \text{Case 2 Total} + \text{Case 3 Total} = 252 + 1008 + 28 = 1288. \] ### Step 4: Extract the Digits The total number of ways is 1288. We need to extract the digits: - \( n_1 = 1 \) - \( n_2 = 2 \) - \( n_3 = 8 \) ### Step 5: Calculate the Final Expression We need to compute \( |n_3 + n_2 - n_1| \): \[ |n_3 + n_2 - n_1| = |8 + 2 - 1| = |9| = 9. \] ### Final Answer The final answer is \( 9 \). ---
