Solution

(b) The number of ways can be deduce as follows :

$1$ woman and $4$ men ${ = ^4}{C_1}{ \times ^6}{C_4} = 60$

$2$ women and $3$ men ${ = ^4}{C_2}{ \times ^6}{C_3} = 120$

$3$ women and $2$ men ${ = ^4}{C_3}{ \times ^6}{C_2} = 60$

$4$ women and $1$ man ${ = ^4}{C_4}{ \times ^6}{C_1} = 6$

Required number of ways $=60+120+60+6=246$.
