The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Number of ways of selecting a man and a woman for a team from 15 men and 15 women
$= 15 \times 15 = (15)^2$
Number of ways of selecting a man and a woman for next team out of the remaining 14 men and 14 women.
$= 14 \times 14 = (14)^2$ Similarly for other teams
Hence required number of ways
$= \left(15\right)^{2}+\left(14\right)^{2}+....+ \left(1\right)^{2}$
$= \frac{15\times16\times31}{6} = 1240$

Combinations

The method of forming subsets by selecting data from a larger set in a way that the selection order does not matter is called the combination.

  • It means the combination of about ‘n’ things taken ‘k’ at a time without any repetition.
  • The combination is used for a group of data where the order of data does not matter.
  • For example, Imagine you go to a restaurant and order some soup.
  • Five toppings can complement the soup, namely:
    • croutons,
    • orange zest,
    • grated cheese,
    • chopped herbs,
    • fried noodles.

But you are only allowed to pick three.

  • There can be several ways in which you can enhance your soup with savory.
  • The selection of three toppings (subset) from the five toppings (larger set) is called a combination.

Use of Combinations:

It is used for a group of data (where the order of data doesn’t matter).
