1) At least 5 means the number could be 5, or 6 or 1,000. There is no way to be certain. Insufficient. 3) If you choose 3 persons from a group of n people, how many different combinations could you have? The answer = (n*(n-1)*(n-2)) /3! That is exactly this condition is about. So 20 = (n*(n-1)*(n-2)) /3!; then 60 = n*(n-1)*(n-2), then n = 6. If you know the total number of people is 6, then the total number of 4-people-committee = 6*5*4*3/4!=15. Sufficient. -- by 会员 sdcar2010 (2011/3/7 12:04:53)
