Answer:

  35/132

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of selecting a boy for president is 7/12, the ratio of the number of boys to the number of candidates. Then the probability of selecting a girl for vice president is 5/11, the ratio of the number of girls to the remaining number of candidates. The joint probability is ...

  (7/12)(5/11) = 35/132 . . . P(b=P&g=VP)

__

We can also look at this another way.

The number of ways two candidates can be selected from 12 is 12P2 = 132. The number of ways that the first can be a boy and the second can be a girl is (7)(5) = 35. Then the probability of a (BG) pair from the 12 candidates is 35/132.

Additional comment

These numbers assume that selection is random and all possibilities are equally-likely. That is unlikely to be the case in an election.
