Answer 1

Here we have total possiblities=11

we have to choose=5

The difference between combinations and permutations is ordering. With permutations we care about the order of the elements, whereas with combinations we don’t.

Since here we just have to choose 5 members hence,no possible arrangements or orders are possible,hence the situation involve permit COMBINATIONS.

=

total ways of a five member committee can be chosen from 11 people=462
