In how many different ways can the representatives be chosen if the president must be a woman and the secretary and treasurer must be men

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence there are 6 different ways can the representatives be chosen if the president must be a woman and the secretary and treasurer must be men.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

Total males = 3,

Total Females = 2,

Now we want 2 males and a female.

Then the choices are,

           $= ^{3} C_{2} \times ( ^{2} C_{1} )\\\\= 3 \times 2\\\\=6$
