Question 1155200: A committee is to be chosen from a group of fourteen women and twelve men. Determine the number of ways of choosing a female president, a male treasurer, and three other members (order doesn't matter) of either gender. Assume that no one can hold more than one office. Answer by ikleyn(52835) (Show Source):
There are 14 ways to select a female president from 14 women;
there are 12 ways to select a male treasure from 12 men;
Finally, there are ways to select three other members (order doesn't matter) from remaining 13+ 11 = 24 persons.
Hence, the answer to the problem's question is ways.
Having the formula, you can calculate the value on your own.
