A car will hold $2$ in the front seat and $1$ in the rear seat. If among $6$ persons $2$ can drive, then the number of ways in which the car can be filled is

A

$10$

B

$20$

C

$30$

D

None of these

Solution

(b) Since $2$ persons can drive the car, therefore we have to select $1$ from these two. This can be done in $^2{C_1}$ ways. Now from the remaining $5$ persons we have to select $2$ which can be done in $^5{C_2}$ ways.

Therefore the required number of ways in which the car can be filled is $^5{C_2}{ \times ^2}{C_1} = 20$.
