Order is not important, so this is a problem
using combinations, not permutations
Number of hands = C( 3,2 ) * C( 12,3 )
C( 3,2 ) =
C( 3,2 ) =
C( 3,2 ) =
and
C( 12,3 ) =
C( 12,3 ) =
C( 12,3 ) =
C( 12,3 ) =
C( 12,3 ) =
------------------------
C( 4,2 )*C( 13,3 ) =

There are 660 possible hands
Note that one of the kings counted is a club, so that
won't work, and one of the clubs being counted is a king
and that won't work either, so I need to account for them

The king of clubs can not be one of the cards. If it were, then "2 kings and 3 clubs" would be only 4 cards; but the problem says 5 cards were dealt.

So the hands we are considering are those that contain 2 of the 3 kings that are not clubs and 3 of the 12 clubs that are not kings.

So the answer from the other tutor is correct:
