Solution

There are a total of 8 men and 6 women.

Number of ways in which the committee has exactly 3 men is $^8C_3 \times ^6C_3 = 1120$
Number of ways in which the committee has exactly 4 men is $^8C_4 \times ^6C_2 = 1050$
Number of ways in which the committee has exactly 5 men is $^8C_5 \times ^6C_1 = 336$
Number of ways in which the committee has exactly 6 men is $^8C_6 \times ^6C_0 = 28$

Hence, the total is $1120 + 1050 + 336 + 28 = 2534$
