Probability that no husband and wife are selected when $4$ people are selected from $6$ married couples $4$ people are selected randomly out of six married couples. Then the probability that no husband and wife are selected together.
I wrote answer as $\frac{C(12,1) \cdot C(10,1) \cdot C(8,1) \cdot C(6,1)}{C(12,4)}$
Because first we select any one person out of $12$, now the better half of selected person cannot be selected. Hence, we are left with $10$ options and so on.
What is wrong in my approach? Answer provided in book is $\frac{C(12,1) \cdot C(10,1) \cdot C(8,1) }{3! \cdot C(12,4)}$
When I solved the question alternate approach i.e.
Total cases-(Cases when exactly one couple is selected+Cases when exactly two couple is selected) then I got the answer but could someone please tell me what is wrong in first approach?
 A: As Kevin Long stated in the comments, the order in which the people are selected does not matter.  Therefore, you must divide your answer by the $4!$ orders in which you could select the same four people.
The answer in the book is wrong.  Here are two approaches to the problem.
Method 1:  We can choose four of the six couples and one of the two people from each selected couple in 
$$\binom{6}{4}\binom{2}{1}^4$$
ways.  Since there are $\binom{12}{4}$ ways to select four of the twelve people, the probability that no husband and wife are selected together is 
$$\frac{\dbinom{6}{4}\dbinom{2}{1}}{\dbinom{12}{4}}$$
Method 2:  We subtract the probability that at least one couple is selected from $1$.
One couple is selected:  There are six ways to select a couple and $\binom{10}{2}$ ways to select two of the remaining ten people.  Hence, there are 
$$\binom{6}{1}\binom{10}{2}$$
selections that include a couple.
However, we have counted selections that include two couples twice, once for each way we could designate one of the couples as the selected couple.  Since we only want to count them once, we must subtract them from the total.
Two couples are selected:  There are 
$$\binom{6}{2}$$
ways to select two of the six couples.
Hence, the number of ways to select at least one couple is 
$$\binom{6}{1}\binom{10}{2} - \binom{6}{2}$$
Therefore, the probability of choosing at least one couple is 
$$\frac{\dbinom{6}{1}\dbinom{10}{2} - \dbinom{6}{2}}{\dbinom{12}{4}}$$
so the probability of not choosing at least one couple is 
$$1 - \frac{\dbinom{6}{1}\dbinom{10}{2} - \dbinom{6}{2}}{\dbinom{12}{4}}$$
