There are 36 students and every one has equal chance of being selected as a leader. Hence, the leader can be appointed in 36 ways. When one person is appointed as leader, we are left with 35 students. Out of these 35 teachers, we can select one class representative. So, a class representative can be selected in 35 ways. Hence, the number of ways in which a leader and class representative can be selected = 36 x 35 = 1260 So the final answer is (B).
