⇒ ((5!)/(2!.2!.1!)) × ((6!)/(3!.1!.1!)) =   ((120)/4) × ((6.5.4.3!)/(3!)) = 30×120 = 3600

$$\Rightarrow\:\frac{\mathrm{5}!}{\mathrm{2}!.\mathrm{2}!.\mathrm{1}!}\:×\:\frac{\mathrm{6}!}{\mathrm{3}!.\mathrm{1}!.\mathrm{1}!}\:=\: \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{120}}{\mathrm{4}}\:×\:\frac{\mathrm{6}.\mathrm{5}.\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{3}!}{\mathrm{3}!}\:=\:\mathrm{30}×\mathrm{120}\:=\:\mathrm{3600} \\ $$
