Solution

A sports team of 11 students is to be constituted, choosing at least 5 students of class XI and at least 5 from class XII.
Required number of ways =\[{}^{20} C_5 \times^{20} C_6 + {}^{20} C_6 \times^{20} C_5 = 2 \times^{20} C_5 \times^{20} C_6 = 2 \left( {20}_{C_6} \times {20}_{C_5} \right)\]
