This comes down to how many people can fill each position.
for position1:
there are 22 possible members 10 boys 12 girls
for position 2:
there are 21 possible members 9 boys and 12 girls, or 10 boys and 11 girls
for position 3:
there are only the remaining boys since the girls only hold 2 positions at most this would be 10
for position 4:
there are a maximium of 9 boys that could fill this position
the math requires you to multiply the possible number of candidates to find the total combinations
