Concept:

The number of ways of selecting r objects from n different objects subject to a certain condition like:

  • k particular objects are always included =  n - kCr - k
  • k particular objects are never included =  n - kCr

 

Calculation:

We know that, The number of ways of selecting r objects from n different objects subject to certain condition like:

  • k particular objects are always included =  n - kCr - k

∴ Total number of selection of 11 players out of 16 players in which wicket-keeper is included = 15C10
