In a group of 8 semifinalists, all but 2 will advance to the final round. If in the final round only the top 3 will be awarded medals, then how many groups of medal winners are possible?

(A) 20
(B) 56
(C) 120
(D) 560
(E) 720

On second thoughts..

Well, ultimately in the end, we have three medal winners out of 8..

so 8C3 = 56

Can it be that simple? I doubt though..

What is the OA?

is it D, 560.

6 out of 8 will advance to final round in 8C6 ways. that is 28 ways.
in turn, 3 out of these 6 will get medals in 6C3 ways which is 20.

Total combinations will be 28*20= 560 ways.

OA is 56. Statement of Rounds is just a Red Herring.
