C_2 ^6 C_1 ^4 +C_2 ^4 C_1 ^6 =15×4+6×6=96  or  C_3 ^(10) −C_3 ^6 −C_3 ^4 =120−20−4=96

$${C}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{\mathrm{6}} {C}_{\mathrm{1}} ^{\mathrm{4}} +{C}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{\mathrm{4}} {C}_{\mathrm{1}} ^{\mathrm{6}} =\mathrm{15}×\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{6}×\mathrm{6}=\mathrm{96} \\ $$$${or} \\ $$$${C}_{\mathrm{3}} ^{\mathrm{10}} −{C}_{\mathrm{3}} ^{\mathrm{6}} −{C}_{\mathrm{3}} ^{\mathrm{4}} =\mathrm{120}−\mathrm{20}−\mathrm{4}=\mathrm{96} \\ $$
