Short Answer

Expert verified

The possible results are23,950,080.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

Total number of students =22

No. of men =12

No. of women=10

02

Step 2. Find the number of possible results.

No. of ways of selecting 5men out of 12= 12!5!7!=12×11×10×9×8×7!5×4×3×2×1×7!=792

No. of ways of selecting 5men out of 10= 10!5!5!=10×9×8×7×6×5!5×4×3×2×1×5!=252

No. of ways that 5men and 5women can be paired off = 5!=5×4×3×2×1=120

Therefore, the total number of possible results are =792×252×120=23,950,080
