First tell us how many different 6-person committees can you choose from 14 people?

Then tell us how many different 2-person committees can you choose from 6 juniors?

Then tell us how many different 4-person committees can you choose from 8 seniors?

Please show us your work, indicating exactly where you are stuck - so that we know where to begin to help you.
