It was found that in 45 games both the players were girls and in 190 games both were boys. The number of games in which one player was a boy and the other was a girl is
Correct
Answer : A

xC2 = 45 x! / 2!(x-2)! = x(x-1) = 90 Therefore, x = 10. 190 games, where both the players were boys. yC2 = 190 = y(y – 1) = 380 y = 20 Hence the total number of games in which one player was a boy and the other was a girl = 10 × 20 = 200Incorrect
Answer : A
Explanation: Let number of girls = x The number of boys = y 45 games in which both the players were girls
