Answer:  There are 177100 possible groups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total employees = 25

Number of  employees  wants to choose = 6

The combination of n things taken r at a time is given by:-

[tex]^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex]

Put n = 25 and r= 6, we get

[tex]^{25}C_6=\frac{25!}{6!(25-6)!}\\\\=\frac{25\times24\times23\times22\times21\times20\times19!}{6!19!}\\\\=177100[/tex]

Hence, there are 177100 possible groups.
