Kasey Hutchinson · Answer 1

The number of ways he can elect the president, the vice President and the secretary is 1320 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a permutation question.

Any of the 12 members can be the President, when this is done, any of the remaining 11 can be the vice president, when this is done, any of the remaining 10 can be the secretary.

The required number of ways is;

12*11*10 = 1320ways
