Hi

We need 3 people from the 5 couples.
So we will first select 3 couples out of the 5 i.e 5C3 ways.
Now from each of the couple selected we can only select one of them this can be done in 2C1 ways.

So the answer is : 5C3*2C1*2C1*2C1 = 80.

Here is how I see the problem

1)
The probability not to have two married in the group is 2/3
( P=1*( 8/9 )*( 6/8 )=6/9 )

2)
The total number of possibilities is 120

3)
Cross multiply 2/3=x/120
x=80
