To find the number of ways a team of 6 players can be formed from a group of 10 players, where the order of selection does not matter, we can use the concept of combinations.

The number of combinations can be calculated using the formula for combinations:

\mathrm{ C(n, r)=n ! /(r ! \times(n-r) !) }

Where:
\mathrm{n} is the total number of players in the group ( 10 in this case)

\mathrm{r} is the number of players to be selected for the team (6 in this case)

\mathrm{!} represents the factorial function

Plugging in the values into the formula:

\mathrm{ C(10,6)=10 ! /(6 ! \times(10-6) !) }

Simplifying the factorial expressions:

\mathrm{ 10 !=3,628,800 }

\mathrm{ 6 !=720 }

\mathrm{ (10-6) !=24 }

Substituting these values into the formula:

\mathrm{ C(10,6)=3,628,800 /(720 \times 24)=3,628,800 / 17,280=210 }

Therefore, there are 210 ways to form a team of 6 players from a group of 10 players, where the order of selection does not matter.

Hence option 2 is correct.
