Solution :-

Given: 10 are chosen for an excursion party out of 25 students. There are 2 cases since 3 students decide either all or one of them will join.

Case 1: All the 3 students join. The remaining 7 students can be chosen out of 22 students in \(^{ 22} C_7\)ways.

Case 2: None of the 3 students join.

Thus, 10 students can be chosen in \( ^{ 22} C_{10}\) ways.

Hence, number of ways of choosing excursion party = \( ^{ 22} C_7+ ^{ 22} C_{10}\)
