There are 7 males and 8 females out of which we 1 male and 1 female is to be selected.
Number of ways to select 1 male from 7 are [tex]^7C_1[/tex].
Number of ways to select 1 female from 8 are [tex]^8C_1[/tex].
So, number of ways to select 1 male and 2 female is :
[tex]n = ^7C_1 \times ^8C_1\\\\n = 56[/tex]
Therefore, total number of ways are 56.
Hence, this is the required solution.
