Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • Since 2 persons can drive the car, therefore we have to select 1 from these two. This can be done in $ ^{2}C_1 $ ways. Now from the remaining 5 persons we have to select 2 which can be done in $ ^{5}C_2 $ ways. Therefore the required number of ways in which the car can be filled is $ ^{5}C_2{{\times }^{2}}C_1=20 $ .
