hey yaar why u hav taken 10C2 and 5C2 in solution of second part....

ANKIT MAHATO ·

abhi u r correct ... for details see my solution ...
let there be n boys and n girls
shakehands can be between boy and boy , boy and girl , girl and girl ...
two boys can shake hands in 4 ways .. both have 2 hands each
a boy and a girl can shake hands in 2 ways .. boy has 2 hands but girl only 1
two girls can shake hands in 1 way .. both have 1 hand each

so total no. of handshakes is ...
nC2 * 4 //2 boys selected
+ nC1 *nC1* 2 //1 boy 1 girl selected
+ nC2* 1 //2 girlss selected

=nC2 * 4 + nC1 *nC1* 2 + nC2* 1 = 100
.. now proceed answer is 5 boys n 5 girls .. total pop.. 10

i have a better way to do the second one

total no. of hands 25

no. of ways of selecting two hands 25C2

10 ways in which we have considered shaking right hand with left

ans 300-10=290

13
Двҥїяuρ now in medical c ·

is the 3rd one 410

total hands 30

no. of choosing hands 30C2

in which 10 handshakes invalid for boys...... 5*3=15 invalid for death eaters
435-25=410
