A committee of 3 members is to be chosen from a group of 5 men and 4 women. If the committee must consist of exactly 1 woman, how many different committees can be formed?

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

To form the committee, we must choose 1 woman from 4, which is C(4,1) = 4 ways. We also must choose 2 men from 5, which is C(5,2) = (5*4)/(2*1) = 10 ways. The total number of different committees is the product of these combinations: 4 * 10 = 40.
