To find the values of α1,α2,α3, and α4, we apply combinatorial principles based on selecting members from 6 boys (M1,M2,M3,M4,M5,M6) and 5 girls (G1,G2,G3,G4,G5).
1. Calculation of α1 (P):
α1 is the number of ways to form a committee of 5 members containing exactly 3 boys and 2 girls.
- Select 3 boys out of 6: (36)=3×2×16×5×4=20
- Select 2 girls out of 5: (25)=2×15×4=10
α1=(36)×(25)=20×10=200
Thus, P→4.
2. Calculation of α2 (Q):
α2 is the number of ways to select a committee of at least 2 members with equal numbers of boys and girls.
Let k be the number of boys and girls selected, where k≥1 (so total members 2k≥2). Since there are 5 girls, k∈{1,2,3,4,5}.
α2=∑k=15(k6)(k5)
- For k=1: (16)(15)=6×5=30
- For k=2: (26)(25)=15×10=150
- For k=3: (36)(35)=20×10=200
- For k=4: (46)(45)=15×5=75
- For k=5: (56)(55)=6×1=6
Summing these values:
α2=30+150+200+75+6=461
Thus, Q→6.
3. Calculation of α3 (R):
α3 is the number of ways to select a 5-member committee having a minimum of 2 girls.
The number of girls g can be 2,3,4, or 5, and the remaining members (5−g) are boys:
- g=2 girls and 3 boys: (25)(36)=10×20=200
- g=3 girls and 2 boys: (35)(26)=10×15=150
- g=4 girls and 1 boy: (45)(16)=5×6=30
- g=5 girls and 0 boys: (55)(06)=1×1=1
Summing these values:
α3=200+150+30+1=381
Thus, R→5.
4. Calculation of α4 (S):
α4 is the number of ways to select a 4-member committee containing at least 2 girls such that M1 and G1 are NOT selected together.
Total ways without restriction:
- 2 girls and 2 boys: (25)(26)=10×15=150
- 3 girls and 1 boy: (35)(16)=10×6=60
- 4 girls and 0 boys: (45)(06)=5×1=5
Total ways=150+60+5=215
Ways in which BOTH M1 and G1 ARE selected:
Since M1 and G1 are both included, we need to pick 2 more members from the remaining 5 boys and 4 girls such that the committee has at least 2 girls in total (meaning at least 1 more girl from the remaining 4 girls):
- 1 girl and 1 boy from remaining: (14)(15)=4×5=20
- 2 girls and 0 boys from remaining: (24)(05)=6×1=6
Forbidden ways=20+6=26
Therefore:
α4=215−26=189
Thus, S→2.
Conclusion:
The correct matching is:
P→4; Q→6; R→5; S→2
Hence, the correct option is C.
