<h3>What are permutation and combination?</h3>

A permutation is an act of putting things or elements in the right sequence. Combinations are a method of picking things or pieces from a collection of objects or sets when the sequence of the objects is irrelevant.

The prom committee is made up of 8 boys and girls.

If there are 12 boys and 15 girls in the group to pick the committee from.

Then the number of ways can the committee be organized will be

Then the number of ways is given by the combination formula. Then we have

Number of ways = ¹²C₀ x ¹⁵C₈ + ¹²C₁ x ¹⁵C₇ + ¹²C₂ x ¹⁵C₆ + ¹²C₃ x ¹⁵C₅ + ¹²C₄ x ¹⁵C₄ + ¹²C₅ x ¹⁵C₃ + ¹²C₆ x ¹⁵C₂ + ¹²C₇ x ¹⁵C₁ +¹²C₈ x ¹⁵C₀

Number of ways = 6435 + 77220 + 330330 + 660660 + 675675 + 360360 + 97020 + 11880 + 495

Number of ways = 2220075

Thus, the correct option is 3.

More about the permutation and the combination link is given below.
