NZ Olympics Committee sent a delegation of 212 competitors to
the Tokyo Olympics 2020/21.
In particular, they sent 13 competitors for athletics, 8 for

(a) In how many ways can you form a 10 member group that consists
of 3 competitors from
athletics, 2 from sailing, 2 from shooting, 2 from canoeing and 1
from cycling?
(b) In how many ways can you form a 5 member group (from the entire
delegation of 212)
that contains at least 3 competitors from canoeing, and no
competitors from cycling,
athletics or sailing?
(c) The 20 competitors from canoeing, shooting and sailing decide
to take a group photo.
The photographer gives them the following instructions. They must
sit in two rows of 10.
The 2 shooting competitors must sit in the front row. Out of the 8
canoeing competitors,
3 are male; these 3 must sit in the second row. The remaining 15
competitors can sit
wherever they want.
i. In how many ways can the group of competitors be seated for the
photograph?
