(E)

Answer
Correct choice: (E)
正确答案:(E)
Solution
There are $\binom{20}{2}$ selections; however, we count these twice, therefore
$2\cdot\binom{20}{2} = \boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 380}$. The wording of the question implies D, not E.
However, MAA decided to accept both D and E and F.
共有 $\binom{20}{2}$ 种选择;但这些被重复计数了两次,因此
$2\cdot\binom{20}{2} = \boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 380}$。题目的措辞意味着选 D,而不是 E。
不过,MAA 决定同时接受 D、E 和 F。
