As we learnt in

Theorem of Combination -

Each of the different groups or selection which can be made by taking r things from n things is called a combination.

^{n}c_{r}=\frac{(n)!}{r!(n-r)!}

- wherein

Where 1\leq r\leq n

 

 We use selections.

Total select one man and women out of 15 men and 15 women is ^{15}C_{1}\times^{15}C_{1}=225

For second team, we get ^{14}C_{1}\times^{14}C_{1}=196

and so on, we have 1^{2}+2^{2}+........+15^{2}=\frac{15\times16\times3}{6}=1240

Correct option is 2.
