raghu	Posted - 10/11/2010 : 21:30:09 Subhotosh, This is my thought. 2 out of 7 men can be permuted in 7p2 ways and 5p2 for women. Once you choose 2 men and 2women, you can have 4 teams. Therefore 4 * 7p2*5P2. This is my thinking.

Raghu - how is it that you never share your work/thought? We do not know where to begin to help you. Hint - Each husband can be teamed up with how many wives? Please share your work with us, indicating exactly where you wre stuck - so that we may know where to begin to help you.
