Solution :-

Let the 9 friends be A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and i respectively.

A and B do not attend the party together.

Total number of ways to select 5 from 7 = 7C5 

= (7*6)/(2*1)

= 42/2

=  21 ways

Either of A or B is selected for party, then number of ways = 2C1*7C4

= (2*1)*(7*6*5)/(3*2*1)

= 420/6

= 70 ways

Total number of ways = 21 + 70 

= 91 ways

Answer:

91

Step-by-step explanation:

Scene1: among 9 friends 5 guests can be selected in 9C5 = 126 ways.

Scene 2:  two friend will attend party together and therefore, they are occupying two invitations out of 5 already. So 3 invitees are left i.e From rests 7 friends now you have to choose 3 friend to invite. Simply in 7C3 = 35 ways.

scene3: those two friends wont attend party together i.e scene2 will be eliminated from scene 1 ——> 126 - 35 = 91 ways .............Ans.
