say two teams T1 & T2

Now out of two siblings one can go to team T1 and the rest boy two T2. so this can be done 1way.

So we are left with 20 boys. we need to choose ten out of these 20 boys for t1 (20C10) and then rest of twenty boys i.e. 10 will go to T2 one way.

so number of ways team can be formed is 1 x 20C10 x 1. Now if u solve or rearrange it u will get choice C.
