B) $ ^{52}C _{18}{{\times }^{35}}C_2{{+}^{52}}C _{19}{{\times }^{35}}C_1{{+}^{52}}C _{20} $

C) $ ^{52}C _{18}{{+}^{35}}C_2{{+}^{52}}C _{19} $

D) $ ^{52}C _{18}{{\times }^{35}}C_2{{+}^{35}}C_1{{\times }^{52}}C _{19} $

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • [b] The following are the number of possible choices: $ ^{52}C _{18}{{\times }^{35}}C_2 $ (18 families having at most 2 children and 2 selected from other type of families) $ ^{52}C _{19}{{\times }^{35}}C_1 $ (19 families having at most 2 children and 1 selected from other type of families) $ ^{52}C _{20} $ (All selected 20 families having at most 2 children). Hence, the total number of possible choices is: $ {{=}^{52}}C _{18}{{\times }^{35}}C_2{{+}^{52}}C _{19}{{\times }^{35}}C_1{{+}^{52}}C _{20} $
