Answer

Number of possible outcomes for everything = 240 ways

Step-by-step explanation

The number of possible outcomes can be calculated by taking each of these two groups.

First group contains 2 elements

Number of possible ways to pick the elements = 2! = 2 × 1 = 2 ways

Second group contains 5 elements

Number of possible ways to pick the elements = 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120 ways

Number of possible outcomes for everything = 2! × 5! = 2 × 120 = 240 ways

Hope this Helps!!!
