    Solution

    Case I: 6 girls and 3 boys
    Number of ways = 8C6 × 7C3 = 28 × 35 = 980 ways
    Case II: 7 girls and 2 boys
    Number of ways = 8C7 × 7C2 = 8 × 21 = 168 ways
    Case III: 8 girls and 1 boy
    Number of ways = 8C8 × 7C1 = 1 × 7 = 7 ways
    Total number of ways = 980 + 168 + 7 = 1155 ways
