Step-by-step explanation

permutations and combinations, the various ways in which objects from a set may be selected, generally without replacement, to form subsets. This selection of subsets is called a permutation when the order of selection is a factor, a combination when order is not a factor.

In our case Since 2 representative has to be elected from a student body of 135

This is an example of Combination because neither was the rank given nor the order of selection given

Next


\begin{gathered} n=135 \\ r=2 \end{gathered}
^(135)C_2=(135*134*133!)/(2!*133!)\text{ }

Simplifying further, we will have 9045 ways

Therefore, there are 9045 ways
