There are 9 boys and 4 girls. A committee of 7 has to be formed.

Given : Girls =3, so boys in committee= 7-3=4

Thus, the required number of ways =^4C_3.^9C_4

                                                  =\frac{4!}{3!1!}\times \frac{9!}{4!5!}

                                                =4\times \frac{9\times 8\times 7\times 6\times 5!}{4\times 3\times 2\times 5!}

                                                = 9\times 8\times 7=504
