total number of ways in which a committee of 3 people can be chosen out of 10 people is 10C3=120 ways.

number of ways in which a committee of 3 can be chosen out of 6 students (no professors) is 6C3 =20 ways

=> number of ways in which a committee of 3 people will have atleast 1 professor is 120-20 =100 ways

hence E
