To solve this problem, first calculate the number
of possible combinations for each gender.
Select 2 men from 4 men (a, b, c, d):
ab, ac, ad, bc, bd, cd
So, there are 6 ways to select 2 men from a group
of 4 men.
Select 2 women from 5 women (v, w, x, y, z):
vw, vx, vy, vz, wx, wy, wz, xy, xz, yz
So, there are 10 ways to select 2 women from a

The selection of one gender is independent of the
selection of the other. Multiply the number of
possible combinations for each gender:
6 x 10 = 60 different combinations.
