If group C has one student then number of groups

{ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_{1}\left[2^{9}-2\right]=5100

If group C has two students then number of groups

{ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_{2}\left[2^{8}-2\right]=11430

If group C has three students then number of groups

={ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_{3} \times\left[2^{7}-2\right]=15120

So total groups =31650
