Answer:

(a) 495, (b) 210

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of persons = 12

number of openings = 8

number of women = 7

number of men = 12 - 7 = 5

(a) Number of ways to select the 8 persons

[tex]C_{8}^{12}\textrm{}\\\\= \frac{12!}{8!\times 4!}\\\\=495[/tex]

(b) Three are men

So, 3 men and 5 women

The number of ways are

[tex]C_{3}^{5}\textrm{} \times C_{5}^{7}\textrm{}\\\\= \frac{5!}{3!\times 2!}\times \frac{7!}{5!\times 2!}\\\\=210[/tex]
