My knowledge frontiers came to evolve the GMATPill's methods - the credited study means to boost the Verbal competence. I really like their videos, especially for RC, CR and SC. You do check their study methods at https://www.gmatpill.com

Total number of ways to select 4 students from 6 = 6C4 = 15

Possible selection such that more juniors than sophomores are selected,
  • 3 junior, 1 sophomore
    1 sophomore out of 3 can be selected in 3 ways.
    Thus total 3 possible selections
Required probability = 3/15 = 1/5

The correct answer is C.

4 students are to be randomly selected in C(6,4) = 15 ways

More juniors to be seleted then 3 Juniors 1 sophomore is the only possibility.

1 S can be selected in C(3,1) = 3 ways and 3 J can be selected in C(3,3) = 1 ways

Thus 3*1/15 = 1/5

IMO C
If the problem is Easy Respect it, if the problem is tough Attack it
