Then , the number of ways to choose a dancing committee if it is to consist of 4 freshmen, 5 sophomores, 2 juniors, and 3 seniors :-

$^8C_4\times ^9C_5\times^9C_2\times^7C_3$

$=\dfrac{8!}{(8-4)!4!}\times\dfrac{9!}{(9-5)!5!}\times\dfrac{9!}{(9-2)!2!}\times\dfrac{7!}{3!(7-3)!}\\\\ =\dfrac{8\times7\times6\times5\times4!}{4!4!}\times\dfrac{9\times8\times7\times6\times5!}{4!5!}\times\dfrac{9\times8\times7!}{7!2!}\times\dfrac{7\times6\times5\times4!}{3!4!}\\\\=11113200$

∴ The number of ways to choose a dancing committee if it is to consist of 4 freshmen, 5 sophomores, 2 juniors, and 3 seniors = 11113200
