From (1) we can find x - number of women

x = 166

There is no indication of how many men are available. Th number of groups that can be formed depend on the number of men and women

From (2) x= y +1 there is no way we can find the numbe rof men or women. hence cant determine the number of groups that can be forme with exactly 3 w and 2 m

From (1) we can get x(no of women) and then from (2) we can get y(no of men) and this is enough to calcuate then number of grouping possible

Hope this helps!
