From a group of $7$ men and $4$ ladies a committee of $6$ persons is formed, then the probability that the committee contains $2$ ladies is

A

$\frac{5}{{13}}$

B

$\frac{5}{{11}}$

C

$\frac{4}{{11}}$

D

$\frac{3}{{11}}$

Solution

(b) Total number of ways to select $6$ persons out of $11 = {}^{11}{C_6}$

Ways to select two ladies $ = {}^4{C_2}$

Ways to select four men $ = {}^7{C_4}$

$\therefore $ Probability that committee contain $2$ ladies

$ = \frac{{{}^4{C_2}.{}^7{C_4}}}{{{}^{11}{C_6}}} = \frac{5}{{11}}.$
