The team of 3 can only contain two men and one girl.

One girl can be selected from the group of 5 in 5C1 = 5 ways.
Two men can be selected from the group of 6 in 6C2 = 15 ways.

Selection from the group of girls and men are associated with each other so total no. of selections possible is 5 x 15 = 75.

Could it be as simple as removing 1 men from a team and 2 girls and you get
5C2 and 3C1 which combined means 5C2*3C1 = 30 ways that you can form a team of three.
