case 1 -- the president is a man
C(14,1) x C(11,1) x C(10,1)
= 14x11x10 = 1540
case 2 -- the president is a woman
C(11,1) x C(10,1) x C(9,1) = 990
Number of possible committees = 1639
C(14,1) x C(11,1) x C(10,1)
= 14x11x10 = 1540
case 2 -- the president is a woman
C(11,1) x C(10,1) x C(9,1) = 990
Number of possible committees = 1639
