Options:
a) 8 pairings
b) 15 pairings
c) 120 pairings
d) 120 pairings

Answer 1

The number of different president-vice president pairings is 120.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of different president-vice president pairings, we need to multiply the number of candidates for president by the number of candidates for vice president. In this case, there are 8 candidates for president and 15 candidates for vice president.

So the number of different pairings is 8 x 15 = 120.
