Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
\(^{4}C_2 \times ^{3}C_1 = \left(\frac{4!}{(4-2)!2!}\right)\times\left(\frac{3!}{(3-1)!1!}\right)\\=\frac{4!}{2!2!}\times \frac{3!}{2!}\\=\frac{4 \times 3 \times 2!}{2 \times 1 \times 2!} \times \frac{3 \times 2!}{2!}\\=18\)
\(^{4}C_2 \times ^{3}C_1 = \left(\frac{4!}{(4-2)!2!}\right)\times\left(\frac{3!}{(3-1)!1!}\right)\\=\frac{4!}{2!2!}\times \frac{3!}{2!}\\=\frac{4 \times 3 \times 2!}{2 \times 1 \times 2!} \times \frac{3 \times 2!}{2!}\\=18\)
