the number of ways in which 9 things can be divided into twice groups containing 2,3 and 4 things respectively is ?

Here , total number of things = 9, 
So forming the first group by choosing 2 things out of 9 things that is,  = 9C2 
Now next group is formed by choosing 3 things out of 7 remaining things, that is,  = 7C3
And next group is formed by choosing 4 things out of remaining 4 things,  = 4C4
Hence the number of ways = 9C2 × 7C3× 4C4 = 1260.
