The required cases of at least one officer = total cases - cases having only jawans = 12C6 - 8C6 = 924 - 28 = 896.

12C6 - 8C6.. 1st I have selected 6 people out of 12 people (4 officers and 8 jawans) in 12C6 ways. We can select all 6 Jawans in 8C6 ways. However, we want atleast one officer. So it's 12C6-8C6 ways.
