In a certain election there are $8$ candidates for president, $5$ candidates for secretary and only $2$ for treasurer. Find in how many ways the election may turn out.



My Attempt :
Among the no of candidates for respective position, we can select only one for each post.

Thus, the no of ways in which the election may turn out $=^8C_1times ^5C_1times ^2C_1$



Is that approach ok?
