Solution

The problem can be solved using the combination formula which is nCr = n! / r!(n-r)!.

First, we need to select 2 boys out of 10. The number of ways to do this is 10C2 = 10! / 2!(10-2)! = 45 ways.

Next, we need to select 2 girls out of 5. The number of ways to do this is 5C2 = 5! / 2!(5-2)! = 10 ways.

The total number of ways to select 2 boys and 2 girls is the product of the two, which is 45 * 10 = 450 ways.

So, the answer is A. 450.
