Answer:

Hence there are 6 different ways can the representatives be chosen if the president must be a woman and the secretary and treasurer must be men.

Explanation:

We know that,

Total males = 3,

Total Females = 2,

Now we want 2 males and a female.

Then the choices are,


= ^(3) C_(2) * ( ^(2) C_(1) )\\\\= 3 * 2\\\\=6
