    Explanation:

    Since we have to choose such a group of 5 in which number of boys should be greater than the number of girls, therefore each group could have (3 boys, 2 girls) or (4 boys, 1 girl) or (5 boys, 0 girls).

    Based on the above discussion the answer shall be:

    Number of ways = 13C3 x 17C2+13C4 x 17C1+[13C5 x 17C0

    =38,896+12,155+1,287

    =52,338
