Solution

(d) The number of ways in which at least $5$ women can be included in a committee is

$^9{C_5}{ \times ^8}{C_7}{ + ^9}{C_6}{ \times ^8}{C_6}{ + ^9}{C_7}{ \times ^8}{C_5}{ + ^9}{C_8}{ \times ^8}{C_4}{ + ^9}{C_9}{ \times ^8}{C_3}$

$ = 1008 + 2352 + 2016 + 630 + 56 = 6062$ ways

(i) The women are in majority in

$(2016 + 630 + 56) = 2702$ cases.

(ii) Men are in majority in $1008$ cases.
