Question 1089770: Three research department have 9,10 and 8 members respectively. Each department is to select a delegate and an alternate to represent the department at a conference. In how many ways can this be done? Answer by ikleyn(52835) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
The first department can select these two by 9*8 ways (any of 9 candidate to the first post; any of the 8 remaining to the second post).
The second department can select its representatives by 10*9 ways (following the same logic).
Third department has 8*7 ways.
In total, there are (9*8) * (10*9) * (8*7) ways,
and I leave it to you to make final calculations.
Do not forget to sent your thanks to me after completing.
