Combinations (Counting the Subsets)
a) How many different teams of five students can be chosen from the 32 students in a class?
b)How many of the possible teams would include the youngest student in this class?
c)How many of the possible teams would not include the youngest student in this class?
(a) No of different teams that can be chosen from 32 players = 32C5 = 201376 ways


(b) If the youngest student was included, remaining 4 students can be selected from 31 students in 31C4 ways

(c) Youngest student will not get included in 201376 - 31465 = 169911 ways
