There are 6%21%2F%282%21%286-2%29%21%29 ways to select 2 men from a group of 6 men and for each of these ways, there are 4%21%2F%283%21%284-3%29%21%29 ways to select 3 women from a group of 4 women.

6%21%2F%282%21%286-2%29%21%29=6%21%2F%282%21%2A4%21%29=%286%2A5%29%2F2=15

4%21%2F%283%21%284-3%29%21%29=4%21%2F%283%21%2A1%21%29=24%2F6=4

15%2A4=60
