(1)2!×3!×2!×3! = (2!×3!)^2  = 144

$$\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\mathrm{2}!×\mathrm{3}!×\mathrm{2}!×\mathrm{3}!\:=\:\left(\mathrm{2}!×\mathrm{3}!\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \:=\:\mathrm{144}\: \\ $$

(2) C(4,2) = ((4!)/(2!.2!)) = 12

$$\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\:\mathrm{C}\left(\mathrm{4},\mathrm{2}\right)\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{4}!}{\mathrm{2}!.\mathrm{2}!}\:=\:\mathrm{12}\: \\ $$
