Two members are selected out of 20 and here order does not matter so the formula is nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

Here we know that nC2 = 190 so the best way is to plug in answer choices

start with 20

20C2 = 20!/(20-2)!2!

= 20*19*18*17*16.......*1/18*17*16...*1 2*1
=190

SO the answer is A 20


Hope it helps!! Just remember the formula and things will be easy for you.
