(1)(a) We first choose 2 from 9 to make up the first group. There is 9C2 ways. Then choose 3 from the remaining 7 to make the second group. There are 7C3 ways. The remaining 4 will be the last group. So there are in total 9C2 x 7C3 = 36 * 35 = 1260 ways.
(b) I guess the meaning of the question is group A = 3 people, B = 3 people and C = 3 people.
There are 9C3 (84) ways to build the first group, and 6C3 (20) ways to build the second. The remaining 3 becomes a group. So there are 84 * 20 = 1680 ways. However, if the order of the group is not important, then there are 1680 / 3! = 280 ways.
(2) (a) We choose 1 woman from among 4 (4C1) and 2 men from among 4 (4C2) so there are 4 x 6 = 24 ways.
(b) There are 8C3 (56) ways to choose 3 members from 8 people.
For the case when a couple is in the committee, there are 4C1 ways to select one couple out of 4, and 6C1 ways to select the remaining member from the remaining 6 people. So the total number of ways to have the committee having a couple is 4 * 6 = 24.
The number of ways with no couple in the committee = 56 - 24 = 32.
(3) (a) We choose 5 people from 10 to build the first team X. There are 10C5 ways = 252 ways. There is no need choose for the second team Y. Disregard the order of the 2 teams, (ABCDE in X and FGHIJ in Y is the same as ABCDE in Y and FGHIJ in X) there are 252 / 2 = 126 ways.
(b) Let the best player A be in team X, and 2nd best player B in team Y. We choose 4 out of 8 to be in group X. There are 8C4 ways = 70 ways.
