Answer #1

Answer: 316

Explanation:

Since there are 3 seniors so there are 14 non-seniors.

So, number of committees with at least one senior member is given as:

All Possibilities - Possibilities of Number of committees with No Senior

Now, All Possibilites =

  

And, Possibilities of Number of committees with No Senior

So, the number of committees with at least one senior member = 680 - 364 = 316
