Is it possible to create more than one directory on a same command?

Question

I took an examination last week and there was a question asking to create three directories by using one command ; then there was a question asking to delete those directories on a same command. Is that possible ?

mkdir -pv myfolder/{a..z}/{1..10}

creates 261 folders (myfolder/a/1, myfolder/a/2.... myfolder/z/10)

rm -rf myfolder/

removes them all
