Answer: 7700 committee

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that  In class A there are 15 girls and 17 boys.  And In class B, there are 19 girls and 10 boys

To find  possible committees of 3 such that the total of committee members of both classes combined consists of 4 girls, we will use combination technique

(15C2 × 17C1) + (19C2 × 10C1)

Or

(15C1× 17C2) + (19C3 ×10C0)

Or

(15C3 × 17C0) + (19C1 × 10C2)

Note that "or" means addition

(1785 + 1710) + (2040 + 855) + (455 + 855)

= 3495 + 2895 + 1310

= 7700 committee
