Question 604708: There are 10 first-tier national rugby union teams.
(a) How many different two-team pairings are possible among those 10 teams.
I guess, the answer to this will be C(10,2) = 45 ways
I am stuck in the following
(b) how many different ways are there to select a 1st, 2nd and 3rd ranked teams from these teams
(c) Suppose 4 teams are going to gather in Sydney, the other 6 teams in Melbourne. How many ways it can be done?
Thanks

You can put this solution on YOUR website! (b) P(10,3) ___ because order (1st, 2nd or 3rd) is significant
(c) C(10,4) ___ or C(10,6); the values are the same
___ ALL the teams are selected, so selecting 4 for one venue automatically selects 6 for the other venue
