Calculate total ways: Calculate the total number of ways to choose two housekeepers from eight. Using the combination formula: C(n,k)=k!(n−k)!n!C(8,2)=[2!(8−2)!]8!=28
Choose remaining members: Calculate the number of ways to choose the remaining two members from the remaining staff (3 desk clerks + 5 maintenance workers = 8 staff).C(8,2)=2!(8−2)!8!=28
Calculate total committees: Calculate the total number of possible committees by multiplying the combinations.Total committees = 28 (housekeepers) ×28 (other staff) = 784
