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 \mathrm{C}_x=\frac{y !}{x !(y-x) !}}
  • The combination for the selection of the one or more items from the \mathrm{{ }^n} different items is \mathrm{ =2^n-1 }

From the available data, the following is evident.

  • The combination for the selection of the one or more different experts from the Group\mathrm{ \text { I is }=\left({ }^4 C_0+{ }^4 C_1+\ldots \ldots \ldots+{ }^{16} C_{16}\right) }
  • The combination for the selection of the one or more different experts from the Group \mathrm{ \text { II is }=\left({ }^5 C_0+{ }^5 C_1+\ldots \ldots+{ }^5 C_5\right) }
  • The combination for the selection of the one or more different experts from the Group \mathrm{ \text { III is }=\left({ }^6 C_0+{ }^5 C_1+\ldots \ldots+{ }^6 C_6\right) }

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

=\mathrm{ \left({ }^4 C_0+{ }^4 C_1+\ldots \ldots+{ }^16 C_14\right)\left({ }^5 C_0+{ }^ 5C_1+\ldots \ldots+{ }^5 C_5\right)\left({ }^6 C_0+\ldots \ldots+{ }^6 C_6\right)-1 }

=2^{16}\times2^{5}\times2^{6}-1

=2^{27}-1
