$15$ $15$

Explanation:

$^{n} C_{r} = \frac{n!}{(n - r)! r!}$ $"^n C_r = (n!)/((n-r)! r!)$

$^{6} C_{4} = \frac{6!}{(6 - 4)! \cdot 4!} = \frac{6!}{2! \cdot 4!}$ $"^6 C _4 = (6!)/((6-4)! * 4!) = (6!)/(2! * 4!)$

$= \frac{6 \cdot 5 \cdot 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 1}{(2 \cdot 1) \cdot (4 \cdot 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 1) \cdot}$ $=( 6*5*cancel4*cancel3*cancel2*cancel1)/(( 2 * 1)*(cancel4*cancel3*cancel2*1) * )$

$= \frac{6 \cdot 5}{2 \cdot 1} = 15$ $= (6 * 5)/(2 * 1) = 15$
