This means we are to select 3 persons from 5 senators and 3 persons from 11 representatives. This can be done by
[tex]^5C_3\times^{11}C_3\text{ ways }[/tex]So we have
[tex]\begin{gathered} ^5C_3\times^{11}C_3\text{ ways } \\ 10\times165 \\ =1650\text{ ways } \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the answer is 1650 ways
