10c2= 45


you can first select one of the 10 kids: 10

then, one of the remaining 9 kids: 9

9x10 = 90 ways but remember , we are asked PAIRs so

John McCain and Sarah Palin is the same pair with Sarah Palin and John McCain

:lol: and they are both useless! :-)



so you divide this number into 2:

90/2 = 45

10C2 is combination. (permutation and combination).

10c2 = 10!/[2!*(10-2)!]--combination formula
= 10!/(2!*8!).
=10*9*8!/2*8!
=10*9/2
=9*5
=45

Hope its clear :)
