  1. If there are seven men to choose from and four will be chosen, then the number of ways of choosing the men is 7C4=35_7C_4=35. If there are seven women to choose from and five will be chosen, then the number of ways of choosing the women is 7C5=21_7C_5=21. The number of ways of choosing four men and five women from a group of seven men and seven women is then 3521=73535\cdot21=735.
