The given information is:

Number of cars =2

Number of groups =3

Number of cars to each groups =4

Pick first 4 cars from 12 cars, 

Total no. of ways of choosing is:

\frac{12 !}{(12-4) ! 4 !}=\frac{12 !}{8 ! 4 !}=495

Pick next 4 cars from 8 cars, 

Total no. of ways of choosing is:

\frac{8 !}{(8-4) ! 4 !}=\frac{8 !}{4 ! 4 !}=70

Pick last 4 cars from 4 cars and the number of ways this can be done is 1 .

Since the three teams are similar, there is no differentiation between them. Therefore, we need to divide it with 3 !=6 .

The total numbers of ways:

\frac{495 \times 70}{6}=5775
