Scoretop 22 - Question 5

by akay » Tue Sep 18, 2007 8:00 pm
A certain club has 20 members. What is the ratio of the member of 5-member committees that can be formed from the members of the club to the number of 4-member committees that can be formed from the members of the club?

A. 16 to 1
B. 15 to 1
C. 16 to 5
D. 15 to 6
E. 5 to 4

I am quite close I think by using 20 C 5 / 20 C 4. Is this right?

Akay, I am agree with u! It should be 20C5/20C4. So the answer should be C. I think this the only way to solve the prob! :oops: But Akay, it does not include any calculation as almost all the digits are getting cancelled by one another.
Correct me If I am wrong


Regards,

Amitava
