- C.
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- D.

A
Explanation
Statement I: Total ways to form committee of 4 from 8 people = . Ways with no women (only men) = . Ways with at least 1 woman = . True.
Statement II: 'ARRANGE' has 7 positions (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), with 3 even positions (2, 4, 6). Vowels are A, A, E (3 vowels with two A's). Consonants are R, R, N, G (4 consonants with two R's).
- Ways to place vowels in even positions = .
- Ways to place consonants in odd positions = . Total words = . True.
Both statements are true.
