Here we need 1 shop steward and 1 treasurer out of 4 people.

SO we can use FCP method

i.e 4 * 3 = 12 ways (as we can choose the shop steward in 4 ways and we are left with three people so the treasure is chosen in 3 ways)

Since we have specific positions in the group, order matters, and so we have a permutation. Thus, the number of ways to select a steward and a treasurer from 4 employees is 4P2 = 4!/2! = 4 x 3 = 12 ways.

Answer: D
