Problem

In how many ways can $6$ juniors and $6$ seniors form $3$ disjoint teams of $4$ people so that each team has $2$ juniors and $2$ seniors?

$\textbf{(A) }720\qquad\textbf{(B) }1350\qquad\textbf{(C) }2700\qquad\textbf{(D) }3280\qquad\textbf{(E) }8100$

Solution 1

The number of ways in which we can choose the juniors for the team are ${6\choose2}{4\choose2}{2\choose2}=15\cdot6\cdot1=90$. Similarly, the number of ways to choose the seniors are the same, so the total is $90\cdot90=8100$. But we must divide the number of permutations of three teams, since the order in which the teams were chosen never mattered, which is $3!$. Thus the answer is $\frac{8100}{3!}=\frac{8100}{6}=\boxed{\textbf{(B) }1350}$
