Taking cases
Case 1:- 3men,3 women 8C3x 5C3 - 8C1 x 5C3
Case 2 :-2 men,4 women 8C2 x 5C4 - 6C0 x 5C4

Remove the cases when those 2 men are there
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)

Two cases: 2 men and 4 women OR 3 men and 3 women.
Ways to chose 6 members committee without restriction (two men refuse to server together)=8C2*5C4+8C3*5C3 = 700
Ways to chose 6 members with two men serve together=2C2*5C4+2C2*6C1*5C3=5+60=65
700-65 = 635

imo e
