If a committee of 3 people is to be selected from among 5 married couples so that the committee does not include 2 people who are married to each other, how many such committees are possible?
The answer and explanation[spoiler=][1] Total combinations = 10c3 = 120
[2] Total combinations which include atleast one couple = 5 * 8 = 40

one couple can be chosen among the 5 couples in 5 ways. the remaining one slot can be filled with any one of the 8 people remaining in 8 ways

Total combinations which do not include any couple = [1] - [2] = 80

As another approach, total combinations = (total permutations)/n! = 10 * 8 * 6 / 3! = 480 / 6 = 80[/spoiler]
