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!(y-x)!}}
  • The combination for the selection of the none or more items from the \mathrm{n}identical items is \mathrm{=n+1}

From the available data, the following is evident.

  • The combination for the selection of the none or more English experts is  =16+1=17

  • The combination for the selection of the none or more Hindi experts is    =5+1=6

  • The combination for the selection of the none or more Sanskrit experts is=6+1=7

Therefore, the required combination for selection of one or more members is

=17\times6\times7-1

=714-1

=713
