All players have equal capability and atleast 2 males will be there in the team. For a team of four , all players must be able to play with each other. But, B cannot play with W,C cannot play with Z and W cannot play with Y.

  1. If all the tree males are selected, then how many combination of four member teams are possible?
    1. 1
    2. 2
    3. 3
    4. 4
Correct Option: B

If all tree males are selected then three of the team members are A, B and C. Now, W cannot be part of the team because she cannot play with B and Z cannot be selected because she cannot play with C. Hence, there can be only two combinations of four member teams, i.e., ABCX and ABCY.
