Answer:

123480

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to choose:

  • 2 cellists from 8 cellists;
  • 4 violonists from 7 violonists;
  • 4 cellists or violonists from 9 remaining musicians (8-2=6 - cellists left, 7-4=3 - violonists left, 6+3=9 - left musicians in total)

1. 2 cellists from 8 can be chosen in

[tex]C_8^2=\dfrac{8!}{2!(8-2)!}=\dfrac{8!}{2!6!}=\dfrac{6!\cdot 7\cdot 8}{2\cdot 6!}=28[/tex]

different ways.

2. 4 violonists from 7 can be chosen in

[tex]C_7^4=\dfrac{7!}{4!(7-4)!}=\dfrac{7!}{4!3!}=\dfrac{4!\cdot 5\cdot 6\cdot 7}{4!\cdot 2\cdot 3}=35[/tex]

different ways.

3. 4 musicians from 9 can be chosen in

[tex]C_9^4=\dfrac{9!}{4!(9-4)!}=\dfrac{9!}{4!5!}=\dfrac{5!\cdot 6\cdot 7\cdot 8\cdot 9}{5!\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4}=126[/tex]

different ways.

In total, there are [tex]28\cdot 35\cdot 126=123480[/tex] differnt ways to fill all vacancies.
