Step-by-Step Solution

To find the values of α1,α2,α3,\alpha_1, \alpha_2, \alpha_3, and α4\alpha_4, we apply combinatorial principles based on selecting members from 66 boys (M1,M2,M3,M4,M5,M6M_1, M_2, M_3, M_4, M_5, M_6) and 55 girls (G1,G2,G3,G4,G5G_1, G_2, G_3, G_4, G_5).


1. Calculation of α1\alpha_1 (P):

α1\alpha_1 is the number of ways to form a committee of 55 members containing exactly 33 boys and 22 girls.

  • Select 33 boys out of 66: (63)=6×5×43×2×1=20\binom{6}{3} = \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 20
  • Select 22 girls out of 55: (52)=5×42×1=10\binom{5}{2} = \frac{5 \times 4}{2 \times 1} = 10

α1=(63)×(52)=20×10=200\alpha_1 = \binom{6}{3} \times \binom{5}{2} = 20 \times 10 = 200

Thus, P→4\mathbf{P} \rightarrow 4.


2. Calculation of α2\alpha_2 (Q):

α2\alpha_2 is the number of ways to select a committee of at least 22 members with equal numbers of boys and girls.

Let kk be the number of boys and girls selected, where k≥1k \ge 1 (so total members 2k≥22k \ge 2). Since there are 55 girls, k∈{1,2,3,4,5}k \in \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}.

α2=∑k=15(6k)(5k)\alpha_2 = \sum_{k=1}^{5} \binom{6}{k} \binom{5}{k}

  • For k=1k = 1: (61)(51)=6×5=30\binom{6}{1} \binom{5}{1} = 6 \times 5 = 30
  • For k=2k = 2: (62)(52)=15×10=150\binom{6}{2} \binom{5}{2} = 15 \times 10 = 150
  • For k=3k = 3: (63)(53)=20×10=200\binom{6}{3} \binom{5}{3} = 20 \times 10 = 200
  • For k=4k = 4: (64)(54)=15×5=75\binom{6}{4} \binom{5}{4} = 15 \times 5 = 75
  • For k=5k = 5: (65)(55)=6×1=6\binom{6}{5} \binom{5}{5} = 6 \times 1 = 6

Summing these values: α2=30+150+200+75+6=461\alpha_2 = 30 + 150 + 200 + 75 + 6 = 461

Thus, Q→6\mathbf{Q} \rightarrow 6.


3. Calculation of α3\alpha_3 (R):

α3\alpha_3 is the number of ways to select a 55-member committee having a minimum of 22 girls.

The number of girls gg can be 2,3,4,2, 3, 4, or 55, and the remaining members (5−g)(5 - g) are boys:

  • g=2g = 2 girls and 33 boys: (52)(63)=10×20=200\binom{5}{2} \binom{6}{3} = 10 \times 20 = 200
  • g=3g = 3 girls and 22 boys: (53)(62)=10×15=150\binom{5}{3} \binom{6}{2} = 10 \times 15 = 150
  • g=4g = 4 girls and 11 boy: (54)(61)=5×6=30\binom{5}{4} \binom{6}{1} = 5 \times 6 = 30
  • g=5g = 5 girls and 00 boys: (55)(60)=1×1=1\binom{5}{5} \binom{6}{0} = 1 \times 1 = 1

Summing these values: α3=200+150+30+1=381\alpha_3 = 200 + 150 + 30 + 1 = 381

Thus, R→5\mathbf{R} \rightarrow 5.


4. Calculation of α4\alpha_4 (S):

α4\alpha_4 is the number of ways to select a 44-member committee containing at least 22 girls such that M1M_1 and G1G_1 are NOT selected together.

Total ways without restriction:

  • 22 girls and 22 boys: (52)(62)=10×15=150\binom{5}{2} \binom{6}{2} = 10 \times 15 = 150
  • 33 girls and 11 boy: (53)(61)=10×6=60\binom{5}{3} \binom{6}{1} = 10 \times 6 = 60
  • 44 girls and 00 boys: (54)(60)=5×1=5\binom{5}{4} \binom{6}{0} = 5 \times 1 = 5

Total ways=150+60+5=215\text{Total ways} = 150 + 60 + 5 = 215

Ways in which BOTH M1M_1 and G1G_1 ARE selected: Since M1M_1 and G1G_1 are both included, we need to pick 22 more members from the remaining 55 boys and 44 girls such that the committee has at least 22 girls in total (meaning at least 11 more girl from the remaining 44 girls):

  • 11 girl and 11 boy from remaining: (41)(51)=4×5=20\binom{4}{1} \binom{5}{1} = 4 \times 5 = 20
  • 22 girls and 00 boys from remaining: (42)(50)=6×1=6\binom{4}{2} \binom{5}{0} = 6 \times 1 = 6

Forbidden ways=20+6=26\text{Forbidden ways} = 20 + 6 = 26

Therefore: α4=215−26=189\alpha_4 = 215 - 26 = 189

Thus, S→2\mathbf{S} \rightarrow 2.


Conclusion:

The correct matching is: P→4; Q→6; R→5; S→2\mathbf{P} \rightarrow 4;\ \mathbf{Q} \rightarrow 6;\ \mathbf{R} \rightarrow 5;\ \mathbf{S} \rightarrow 2

Hence, the correct option is C.
