Company X receives 16 applications for a job, 6 of which are from present employees of the company. If 3 of the applicants are to be hired, including exactly one of the applicants who is not a present employee of the company, how many distinct groups of applicants can be selected?
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Out of the 16 applications, 6 are from present employees and 10 are from outside applicants.
From the 6 present employees, 2 need to be selected.
From the 10 outside applicants, 1 needs to be selected.
So you can make a group of three in 6C2 * 10C1 = 150 ways
