Answer:

(a) There are 113,400 ways

(b) There are 138,600 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of ways to from k groups of n1, n2, ... and nk elements from a group of n elements is calculated using the following equation:

\frac{n!}{n1!*n2!*...*nk!}

Where n is equal to:

n=n1+n2+...+nk

If each team has two students, we can form 5 groups with 2 students each one. Then, k is equal to 5, n is equal to 10 and n1, n2, n3, n4 and n5 are equal to 2. So the number of ways to form teams are:

\frac{10!}{2!*2!*2!*2!*2!}=113,400

For part b, we can form 5 groups with 2 students or 2 groups with 2 students and 2 groups with 3 students. We already know that for the first case there are 113,400 ways to form group, so we need to calculate the number of ways for the second case as:

Replacing k by 4, n by 10, n1 and n2 by 2 and n3 and n4 by 3, we get:

\frac{10!}{2!*2!*3!*3!}=25,200

So, If each team has either two or three students, The number of ways  form teams are:

113,400 + 25,200 = 138,600
