A committee of $7$ has to be formed from $9$ boys and $4$ girls.

since exactly $3$ girls are to be there in every committee, each committee must consist of $(7-3)=4$ boys only

Thus, in this case, required number of ways $=\,^{4} C_{3} \times^{9} C_{4}=\frac{4 !}{3 ! 1 !} \times \frac{9 !}{4 ! 5 !}$

$=4 \times \frac{9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 !}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 5 !}$

$=504$
