1st team = 8C2 = 28 ways
2nd team = 6C2 = 15 ways
3rd team = 4C2 = 6 ways
4th team = 2C2 = 1 way

The number of ways in which the group can be divided

= (28*15*6*1)/4! = [spoiler]105 ways (E)[/spoiler]

(Divided by 4! since the order of the teams do not matter in this case).

Hoping this is correct. Please let me know if not. Thanks!

Total number of ways of selecting the first team = 8C2
Total number of ways of selecting the second team = 6C2
Total number of ways of selecting the third team = 4C2
Total number of ways of selecting the fourth team = 2C2

Total number of ways of selecting 4 teams = 8C2*6C2*4C2*2C2. But the question asks the total number of distinct ways. So the above value must be divided with 4!

Answer = 8C2 * 6C2 * 4C2 * 2C2 /24 = 2520/24 = 105

Another approach:

Select one person. He/She can be paired with 7 different people(from the remaining lot) giving us 7 pairs. Now the total number of people remaining is 6

Select another person (#3). He/She can be paired with 5 different people(from the remaining 5) giving us 5 different pairs. Now the total number of people remaining is 4

Select another person (#5). He/She can be paired with 3 different people(from the remaining 3) giving us 3 different pairs. Now the total number of people remaining is 2

The last couple will not have a chance to choose.

Total number of pairs = 7*5*3* = 105

answer 105 is perfectly right...but OE supports the last explanation given by neelgandham
