Answer:
There are 75 ways to form the committee.
Step-by-step explanation:
The order in which the people are chosen is not important, which means that the combinations formula is used to solve this question.
Combinations formula:
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
In this question:
Considering the eldest has to be there, 2 men from a set of 6 and 4 boys from a set of 5(excluding the youngest), so:
[tex]T = C_{6,2}C_{5,4} = \frac{6!}{2!4!} \times \frac{5!}{1!4!} = 3*5*5 = 75[/tex]
There are 75 ways to form the committee.
