Solution

The correct option is A

15×10


Explanation for correct option:

Finding the required number of ways to select a girl and a boy:

Let's find the number of ways to select a boy

Number of boys =15

The number of ways a boys is selected out of 15 boys =C115

=15!1!×(15-1)!=15

Let's find the number of ways to select a girl

Number of girls =10

The number of ways a girl is selected out of 10 girls =C110

=10!1!×(10-1)!=10

The total number of ways a girl and a boy can be selected from a group of 15 boys and 10 girls=15×10

Hence, option (A) is correct.
