Here's the Solution to this Question

No 3 same children taken again required number = ^{8}C_3=\frac{8!}{3!.5!}=56


Total number of men =8 

Total number of women =4 

Team = 5 persons → at least 1 women 

Case 1→1 women + 4 men ⇒^4C_1 \times ^{8}C_4=4\times70=280

Case 2→2 women + 3 men ⇒ ^4C_2 \times ^{8}C_3=6\times56=336

Case 3→ 3 women + 2 men ⇒^4C_3 \times ^{8}C_2=4\times28=112

Case 4→ 4 women + 1 men ⇒^4C_4 \times ^{8}C_1=1\times8=8

Total ways =280+336+112+8=736
