A class consists of 5 boys and 5 girls. Given that one kid can only hold one title, in how many ways can you pick 2 boys to be the class clown and the teacher's pet or 2 girls to be the most beautiful girl in class and the smartest kid on the block?	Choose one:  A) 9  B) 18  C) 32  D) 40  E) 240
Easiest way is to treat it like an arrangements question in the following manner:   From the boys we need to select 2 to be clown and pet: This can be done in 5*4 ways   Similarly for the girls, we have 4*5 ways.   Thus total = 20+20=
