1) you choose 3, possible ways: choose 3 women, 1 solution, choose 3 men; 3 solution, choose 2w 1m: 34=12, choose 2m 1w: 63=18. Total 1+4+12+18=35
2) from 3 women you choose 2, that is 3 ways, and from 4 men you choose 1, that is four, multiplying 34=12 ways.
3) there is 12 ways from 35, that means probability is 1235.
