Solution:

Let's give each people one number: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10;

We can write it like set: A=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10A={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}, this is set with 10 elements. Now, we need to find number of subsets of set A which equal number of different committees with 5 people:

N=n!(nm)!m!N=\frac{n!}{(n-m)!m!} - this is formula of number of subsets with m elements in set with n elements.

N=10!(105)!×5!=10!5!×5!=6×7×8×9×105!=252;N=\frac{10!}{(10-5)!\times5!}=\frac{10!}{5!\times5!}=\frac{6\times7\times8\times9\times10}{5!}=252;

Answer:

N=252N=252 -number of different committees with 5 people.
