Solution

The correct option is B

450


Total Number of ways to select four students = 12C4= 495

If two particular students are already selected we need to select only 2 out of remaining 10 students.

Number of ways = 10C2 = 45

Number of ways in which two are not included together = Total Number of ways to select four students - Number of way in which both are selected

=49545=450
