D

Solution

A team of $3$ boys and $3$ girls is to be selected from $5$ boys and $4$ girls.

$3$ boys can be selected from $5$ boys in $^{5} C_{3}$ ways.

$3$ girls can be selected from $4$ girls in $^{4} C_{3}$ ways.

Therefore, by multiplication principle, number of ways in which a team of $3$ boys and $3$ girls can be selected $=^{5} C_{3} \times^{4} C_{3}=\frac{5 !}{3 ! 2 !} \times \frac{4 !}{3 ! 1 !}$

$=\frac{5 \times 4 \times 3 !}{3 ! \times 2} \times \frac{4 \times 3 !}{3 !}$

$=10 \times 4=40$
