(i) Since, two particular books are always selected. It means that 6y-2=4 books are selected out of the remaining 11-2=9 books.
`therefore`Required number of ways`=.^(9)C_(4)=(9*8*7*6)/(1*2*3*4)=126`.
(ii) Since, two particular books are never selected, it means that 6 books are selected out of the remaining 11-2=9 books.
`therefore` Required number of ways=`.^(9)C_(6)`
`=.^(9)C_(3)=(9*8*7)/(1*2*3)=84`.
