We need to choose a team of 11 from a pool of 15 players and also select a captain. The number of different ways this can be done is

  1. $ \begin{pmatrix} 15 \\ 11 \end{pmatrix}$
  2. 11 . $ \begin{pmatrix} 15 \\ 11 \end{pmatrix}$
  3. 15 . 14 . 13 . 12 . 11 .10 . 9 . 8 . 7 . 6 . 5
  4. (15 . 14 . 13 . 12 . 11 .10 . 9 . 8 . 7 . 6 . 5) . 11

Number of ways selecting a captain from 15 players = $ \begin{pmatrix} 15 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}$

Number of ways selecting remaining team members from remaining 14 players

= $ \begin{pmatrix} 14 \\ 10 \end{pmatrix}$

 The number of different ways to choose a team of 11 from a pool of 15 players and also select a captain

=$ \begin{pmatrix} 15\\ 1 \end{pmatrix}$ *$ \begin{pmatrix} 14 \\ 10 \end{pmatrix}$=15*13*11*7= 11 *$ \begin{pmatrix} 15 \\ 11 \end{pmatrix}$

Alternate Method:

Number of ways of selecting 11 players from 15 players =  $ \begin{pmatrix} 15 \\ 11 \end{pmatrix}$

Number of ways of selecting a captain from selected 11 players=11

The number of different ways to choose a team of 11 from a pool of 15 players and also select a captain=$11 *\begin{pmatrix} 15 \\ 11 \end{pmatrix}$

 

Hence,Option(B)11 *$ \begin{pmatrix} 15 \\ 11 \end{pmatrix}$ is The correct choice.
