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?
Solution
The number of ways in which we can choose the juniors for the team are 
. Similarly, the number of ways to choose the seniors are the same, so the total is 
. But we must divide the number of permutations of three teams, which is 
. Thus the answer is 
.
