Answer:
number of boys and girls in the 7 member group can be:
4 boys 3 girls
5 boys 2 girls
6 boys 1 girl
you can't have more than 6 boys since that's all that is available.
3 boys in the 7 member group would not be a majority because you would then have 4 girls.
4 boys 3 girls is calculated as 6C4 * 4C3 = 15 * 4 = 60
5 boys 2 girls is calculated as 6C5 * 4C2 = 6 * 6 = 36
6 boys 1 girl is calculated as 6C6 * 4C1 = 1 * 4 = 4
add them up together and you get 100 possible ways that the group can be formed where the boys are in the majority.
