Nine people can be selected from the group in(12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4) = 79,833,600ways.But each group of the same 9 people can be selected in(9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2) = 362,880 different orders.So the number of different 9-person committees that can be selected is79,833,600/362,880 = 220 .
There are 8!/(4!*4!) = 70 ways.
