yours answer :-
1 . 11 players can be selected out of 15 in 15C11 ways = 15C4 = (15.14.13.12) / (1.2.3.4) = 1365 ways.
2. Since a particular player must be included, we have to select 10 more out of remaining 14 players. This can be done in 14C10 = 14C4 = (14.13.12.11)/(1.2.3.4) = 1001 ways.
3. Since a particular player must be always excluded, we have to choose 11 players out of remaining 14. This can be done in14C11 ways = 14C3 = (14.13.12)/(1.2.3) = 364 ways.
4. One leg spinner can be chosen out of 2 in² C1 = 2 ways. Then we have to select 10 more players out of 13 (because second leg spinner can't be included). This can be done in13C10 ways = 13C3 = (13.12.11)/(1.2.3) = 286 ways. Thus required number of combinations = 2×286 = 572
total no. of players = 15
no. of players to be chosen = 11
a) no restriction
no of ways to choose 11 guys from 15 = ¹⁵C₁₁
b) one is to b included always⇒ one already selected
so no of guys left to b selected is = 10 out of 14
therefore no of ways = ¹⁴C₁₀
c) one of them always excluded ⇒ he won't b in selection process
so no of players left to b chosen = 11 out of 14 ( cause he's not to b count )
therefore no of ways = ¹⁴C₁₁
d) two of either leg spinner must b included ⇒ either A or B (suppose)
so no of guys left to be selected = 10 out of 15-2 = 13 (A and B)
therefore no of ways = ¹³C₁₀ x ²C₁ (as one of either to b chosen)
