There are 14 programmers and 31 engineers in a company. There are ways to select a group of three representatives from the company such that one is a programmer and two are engineers.

How to select a group of three representatives from the company?

We need to include 1 engineer from 31 engineers.

So, the way we can select engineer is [tex]^{31}C_1[/tex] ways.

Now, we need to select 2 programmers from 14, so we will have [tex]^{14}C_2[/tex] ways.

Now,

[tex]^{31}C_1=31\\^{14}C_2=91[/tex]

The total number of ways will be 121 ways.
