There are 11 women and 9 men in a certain club. If the club is to select a committee of 2 women and 2 men, how many different such committees are possible?
Choose the most appropriate option.
A) 120 B) 720 C) 1,060 D) 1,520 E) 1980 committees
these are two independent events. meaning picking men from a group of men has no effect on picking women from group of women. so you have to multiply here.   11c2*9c2 =1980   Answer is 1980 committees.
