In a school, 7 boys and 5 girls are available for a speech. In how many ways can one speaker be chosen?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (12)

The choice is to select exactly one speaker from two non-overlapping groups: 7 boys or 5 girls. When one item is chosen from alternatives, the addition principle applies. There are 7 possible choices if the speaker is a boy and 5 possible choices if the speaker is a girl. Since these cases cannot occur simultaneously for one selected person, the total number of choices is 7+5=12. Therefore option C is correct. Multiplying 7×5=35 would count paired choices of one boy and one girl, which is a different problem involving two selections. The value 2 merely counts the groups and 24 does not follow from the stated choice.
