An Engineer Association consists of civil engineers and mechanical engineers.
If civil engineers disagree with each other and refuse to be on the same committee together, how many different ways can a committee of civil engineers and mechanical engineers be formed
Number of different ways can a committee of civil engineers and mechanical engineers be formed:
Step-1: Find the number of ways to choose civil engineers from civil engineers:
Let first and second civil engineers disagree with each other:
Reject first civil engineer and choose from remaining four civil engineers:
Reject second civil engineer and choose from remaining four civil engineers:
Reject first and second civil engineer and choose from remaining three civil engineers:
So, total number of ways to choose a committee of civil engineers and mechanical engineers when civil engineers disagree with each other will be as follows:
Hence, the total number of ways to choose a committee of civil engineers and mechanical engineers from a committee of civil engineers and mechanical, when civil engineers disagree with each other are
