Verified by Experts

The committee can be formed in the following ways:
(i) 4 teacher +7 students
No. of ways of selection `= .^(6)C_(4) xx ^(8)C_(7)`
(ii) 5 teachers +6 students
No. of ways of selection `= .^(6)C_(5) xx ^(8)C_(6)`
(iii) 6 teacher +5 students
No of ways of selection `= .^(6)C_(6) xxe^(8)C_(5)`
The committee can be formed in any one way, therefore from addition principle
Required ays `= .^(6)C_(4) xx^(8)C_(7) +^(6)C_(5)xx^(8)C_(6) +^(6)C_(6) xx^(8)C_(5)`
`= 15 xx 8 +6 xx 28 +1 xx 56`
`=120 +168 +56`
`= 344`.
