Hi,

Ten people are to travel in one car (taking four people) and one van (taking six people). 

Only two of the people can drive. 

In how many ways can they be allocated to the two vehicles? 

2 are drivers (already assigned, so to speak.  

Leaving 8 people, 3 of whom will be chosen for the car ...rest will go with the van.
