Default A company needs to hire a team
Dear ALL,

Please help me to judge the following answer:

A company needs to hire a team of 5 software developers. Nine people (5 men and 4 women) apply for the jobs, all equally qualified and equally experienced. If the company decides that they want to have 3 men and 2 women in the team, in how many different ways can the team be made up?

My answer: 5nCr3x4nCr2 = 60

Please let me know the above answer is right or not?

Cheers,

Thlough it is probably illegal for them to decide before hand that they will hire more men than women!
