In that question, they didn't mention anything about permutation or combination. so we can try it in both ways.
7C5 * 3C2 = (7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3)/(5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) * (3 * 2)/(2 * 1).
= 7 * 3 * 3 = 21 * 3 = 63.
7C5 * 3C2 = (7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3)/(5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) * (3 * 2)/(2 * 1).
= 7 * 3 * 3 = 21 * 3 = 63.

5 out of 7 and 2 out of 3.
so,
=7c5 x 3c2.
= (7! / 5! x 2!) x (3! / 2! x 1!),
= (7 x 6 / 2) x 3,
=( 42 / 2 ) x 3,
= 21 x 3,
= 63 (ans).
so,
=7c5 x 3c2.
= (7! / 5! x 2!) x (3! / 2! x 1!),
= (7 x 6 / 2) x 3,
=( 42 / 2 ) x 3,
= 21 x 3,
= 63 (ans).

7 members have to be selected from 12 men and 3 women such that no two women can come together in how many ways we can select them?

Hi Folks, In below link, look at the formula in point no. 6, note no. ii
https://www.indiabix.com/aptitude/permutation-and-combination/formulas
With the formula mentioned there, that they have written as (7C5 x 3C2) = (7C2 x 3C1). Even I was confused but when I saw that formula in above link then I understood the concept very clear. School student won't face difficulty while understanding the solution because they must be knowing this formula already but people who are out of touch with math for lot of year like me will take time to digest these solutions. Hope my comment helps everyone. Thanks.
