\(4\) people to select from \(5\) women & \(4\) men
Qt A
Prob of two women & two men \(= \frac{5C2 * 4C2}{9C4} = \frac{30}{63}\)
Qt B
Prob of three women & one men \(= \frac{5C3 * 4C1}{9C4} = \frac{20}{63}\)
Qt A > Qt B
Answer A

Using probability method
QA: (4/9 × 3/8 × 5/7 × 4/6) × 4!/2!2!
QB: (5/9 × 4/8 × 3/7 × 4/6) × 4!/3!1!
QA: 6
QB: 4
Therefore A is greater
