The question is an illustration of combination.

There are 5005 ways the volunteers can be selected

How to determine the total number of selections

The given parameters are:

  • Boys = 10
  • Girls = 5
  • Volunteers = 5

Since there is no restriction, as to who can be selected;

The total number of selection is calculated using the following combination formula

[tex]^nC_r = \frac{n!}{(n -r)!r!}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]n = 5 + 10=15[/tex]

[tex]r = 6[/tex]

So, we have

[tex]^{15}C_6 = \frac{15!}{9!6!}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]^{15}C_6 = 5005[/tex]

Hence, there are 5005 ways the volunteers can be selected
