  • 78
  • C

  • D
    None of these.

Answer

Correct option: B.
78
4 out of 13 players are bowlers.
In other words, 9 players are not bowlers.
A team of 11 is to be selected so as to include at least 2 bowlers.
Number of ways $={^\text{4}}\text{C}_{\text{2}}\times{^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{9}}+{^\text{4}}\text{C}_{\text{3}}\times{^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{8}}+{^\text{4}}\text{C}_{\text{4}}\times{^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{7}}$
$=6+36+36$
$=78$
