Step 1 :Enumerate the possible committee member combinations based on gender:
Step 2 :1) 1 man and 5 women: \(\binom{10}{1}\) ways to select men and \(\binom{16}{5}\) ways to select women. Total ways: \(\binom{10}{1}\binom{16}{5}\).
Step 3 :2) 2 men and 4 women: \(\binom{10}{2}\) ways to select men and \(\binom{16}{4}\) ways to select women. Total ways: \(\binom{10}{2}\binom{16}{4}\).
Step 4 :Calculate the sum of the above cases: \(\binom{10}{1}\binom{16}{5} + \binom{10}{2}\binom{16}{4}\)
