The correct answer is:
1170

(1170)

Sol. Total No. of bowlers = 6

Now, (i) If 4 bowlers are including the no. of ways

selecting 11 players out of 15 players = 6 C 4 × 9 C 7 = 15 × 36 = 540

(ii) If 5 bowlers are selected = 6 C 5 × 9 C 6 = 6 × 84 = 504

(iii) If all 6 bowlers are selected = 6 C 6 × 9 C 5 = 1 × 126 = 126

Hence total no. of ways = 540 + 504 + 126 = 1170
