Explanation:

3 out of 12 senior members is 12C3

2 out of 11 Junior members is 11C2

Number of different delegations possible are 12C3 * 11C2 = 12100

3 senior members can be selected in 12C3 = (12 x 11 x 10)/3! = 2 x 11 x 10 = 220 ways.

2 junior members can be selected in 11C2 = (11 x10)/2! =55 ways.

Thus, the delegation can be selected in 220 x 55 = 12,100 ways.
