Atleast one French member = (1F out of total 3)+(2F out of total 3)+(3F out of total 3)

=(4C1*6C2) + (4C2*6C1) + (4C3)
=4*15 + 6*6 + 4
=60+36+4
=100

You can also solve this question as....
We have to find no of ways containing atleast one french.
We can find no of ways in which no french member is selected and subtract it from total.
10C3 - 6C3
= 100
