In a group of 6 boys and 4 girls, four children are to be selected. In how many different ways can they be selected such that at least one boy should be there ?

Correct Answer: 209

Required number of ways = ( C 1 6 ×   C 3 4 ) +  C 2 6 × C 2 4   + ( C 3 6 ×   C 1 4 ) + ( C 4 6 )  


= (24+90+80+15)
