There are 9 women and 9 men in a certain club. If the club is to select a committee of 2 women and 2 men, how many different such committees are possible?
Pick one
A) 1296
B) 720
C) 1,060
D) 1,520
E) 1,980
Answer is E. Can somebody tell me what answer I may have found if I had added the 9C2 and 9C2 (36+36=72)?   I'm guessing that would've been the number of 2-member committees which had men and women separately. Is that right?   1296
