In A Premier League there are 20 soccer teams. 
(a)In One Round How Many Games Are There? 
20 choose 2 = 20C2 = 190
  
(b) If five of the teams represent one company, find the  
number of ways pairs of teams representing different companies  
can play the game.        
So there are 4 companies, each having 5 teams.
4 companies choose 2 = 4C2 = 6 ways
Choose a team of the company that's, say, been in business the 
longest.
     5 teams choose 1 = 5C1 = 5 ways
Choose a team of the other company,
     5 teams choose 1 = 5C1 = 5 ways
Answer 6*5*5 = 150 ways.
