Two of the students prefer to work in Mumbai while three prefer to work outside. In how many ways assignments can be made if preferences are to be satisfied?

Correct answer:

n =  682

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} C_2(7)=\left({\displaystyle \genfrac{}{}{0px}{}{7}{2}}\right)={\displaystyle \frac{7!}{2!(7-2)!}}={\displaystyle \frac{7\cdot 6}{2\cdot 1}}=21 \\ {C}_2(5)=\left({\displaystyle \genfrac{}{}{0px}{}{5}{2}}\right)={\displaystyle \frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}}={\displaystyle \frac{5\cdot 4}{2\cdot 1}}=10 \\ {C}_2(2)=\left({\displaystyle \genfrac{}{}{0px}{}{2}{2}}\right)={\displaystyle \frac{2!}{2!(2-2)!}}={\displaystyle \frac{1}{1}}=1 \\ a=\left(\genfrac{}{}{0px}{}{2+5}{2}\right)+\left(\genfrac{}{}{0px}{}{5}{2}\right)=\left(\genfrac{}{}{0px}{}{2+5}{2}\right)+10=31 \\ {C}_2(6)=\left({\displaystyle \genfrac{}{}{0px}{}{6}{2}}\right)={\displaystyle \frac{6!}{2!(6-2)!}}={\displaystyle \frac{6\cdot 5}{2\cdot 1}}=15 \\ {C}_2(4)=\left({\displaystyle \genfrac{}{}{0px}{}{4}{2}}\right)={\displaystyle \frac{4!}{2!(4-2)!}}={\displaystyle \frac{4\cdot 3}{2\cdot 1}}=6 \\ b=\left(\genfrac{}{}{0px}{}{6}{2}\right)+\left(\genfrac{}{}{0px}{}{4}{2}\right)+\left(\genfrac{}{}{0px}{}{2}{2}\right)=15+6+1=22 \\ n=a\cdot b=31\cdot 22=682 \end{gathered}$$
