You can choose two 10-grades from 60 students by  C%5B60%5D%5E2 = %2860%2A59%29%2F2 = 1770 ways.


You can choose two 11-grades from 55 students by  C%5B55%5D%5E2 = %2855%2A54%29%2F2 = 1485 ways.


Finally, you have  C%5B60%5D%5E2+%2A+C%5B55%5D%5E2 = 1770*1485 = 2628450 ways to create your team of 4 students.
