Two-Suit Five-Card Hand Count

Combinatorics · Easy · Free problem
A standard deck has 52 cards divided into 4 suits of 13 cards each. How many 5-card hands contain exactly 2 cards from one suit and exactly 3 cards from a different suit? Note: the two suits play different roles (one contributes 2 cards, the other contributes 3), so pay attention to whether the order of suit selection matters.
