Note the following:

  • The formula for the combination for the selection of the \mathrm{x} items from the \mathrm{y}different items is \mathrm{=^{y}C_{x}=\frac{y!}{x!\left ( y-x \right )!}}

  • The restricted combination for the selection of the \mathrm{r}  items from the \mathrm{n}different items with \mathrm{k} particular things always included is \mathrm{=^{n-k}C_{r-k}}

Since 20 participants are marked to be rejected, the following is evident.

  • The number from which the restricted combination is to be made is .

          \mathrm{=n-k=\left ( 100+50 \right )-20=130}

  • The number with which the restricted combination is to be made is

           \mathrm{=r-k=50-20=30}

Therefore, the required restricted combination is

\mathrm{=^{n-k}C_{r-k}}

\mathrm{=^{130}C_{30}}

\mathrm{=\frac{130!}{30!100!}}
