The total subcommittees that will contain Michael is 5C2 = 10.

Out of these total subcommittees that will contain Anthony also = 4.

So the percentage has to be 4/10 = 40%

sureshbala wrote:The total number of ways of dividing 6 people into 2 groups of 3 members each is 6C3 = 20.

Now we want Michael and Anthony to be in the same group. So the other person of this group could be anyone from the remaining 4. So favourable cases will be 4.

Hence the percentage is 4/20 = 20%
:) If we take M and A for Michael and Anthony respectively, and X for any one member from the remaining four; then given that M is already in, second and third entries could be either A and X, or X and A. It is a conditional probability sum.

Got it...I must have read the question with a bit of patience....

The total subcommittees that will contain Michael is 5C2 = 10.

Out of these total subcommittees that will contain Anthony also = 4.

So the percentage has to be 4/10 = 40%
