If all committee members have identical jobs, then there are
C(10,4)=10!/(4!(10-4)!)=10!/(4!6!)=10*9*8*7/(1*2*3*4)=210
ways to select 4 committee members from a club of 10 members.

You have to select 4 members for a committee. These members are with the same powers, so you should use combinations

[tex]C_n^k=\dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}.[/tex]

In your case, n=10, k=4, then

[tex]C_{10}^4=\dfrac{10!}{4!(10-4)!}=\dfrac{10!}{4!\cdot 6!}=\dfrac{6!\cdot 7\cdot 8\cdot 9\cdot 10}{6!\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4}=7\cdot 3\cdot 10=210.[/tex]

Answer: 210 ways to select a committee of 4 members from 10 members.
