(i) Given exactly $3$ girls
Total numbers of girls are $4$
Out of which $3$ are to be chosen
∴ Number of ways in which choice would be made
\[\Rightarrow {{~}^{4}}{{C}_{3}}=\]
Numbers of boys are $9$ out of which $4$ are to be chosen which is given by
\[^{9}{{C}_{4}}\]
Total ways of forming the committee with exactly three girls
= 4C3 × 9C4
=
(ii) Given at least $3$ girls
There are two possibilities of making committee choosing at least $3$ girls
There are $3$ girls and $4$ boys or there are $4$ girls and $3$ boys
Choosing three girls we have done in (i)
Choosing four girls and $3$ boys would be done in
\[^{4}{{C}_{4}}\]
ways
And choosing $3$ boys would be done in
\[^{9}{{C}_{3}}\]
Total ways =
\[^{4}{{C}_{4}}~\times {{~}^{9}}{{C}_{3}}\]
Total numbers of ways of making the committee are
\[504\text{ }+\text{ }84\text{ }=\text{ }588\]
