Question:
5 particular boys and 5 particular girls are selected and placed in mixed pairs for tennis.Find the total number of different mixed pairs which can be made using these 10 children.

Solution:
Consider the case of one boy and 5 girls. How many ways can we make a mixed pair? The answer is five.
What if we add one more boy to make 2 boys and 5 girls? The number of mixed pairs is 5 for each boy, so 10.
Now consider 5 boys and 5 girls. I am quite sure you have the answer by now.
