Dear jee

total possible hand shake =20C2

indian women shake hand with male =5C1 *10C1 =50  ways (it include hand shake with her husband also)

american women shake hand with their husband in 5 ways

so desired hand shake = 20C2 -50-5

                                 =135

I did it this way and got 95 as the answer.
 
1 Indian male would shake hands with 5 American males so total no of handshakes between Indian and American males = 25 (5*5)
1 Indian female would shake hands with 5 American females , so number of handshakes = 25
1 American male would shake hands with 4 American females , so total = 20 (5*4)
1 American female would shake hands with 5 Indian males , so total = 25
(can u guys tell me where am i going wrong)

I havent counted hanshakes among indian women and american ones that is...one indian women will shake hands with rest of 4 so total of 5 women will lead to 5*4=20 hamdshakes samr case with american women they will also lead to 20 both adding upto 40 and giving answer 95+40= 135 handshakes

20C2 (total handshakes) - THE NO OF HAND SHAKES OF INDIAN WOMEN WITH MALES i.e. 5C1 X 10C- 5(handshakes of american males with their own wife). which if finally equal to 10C2 – 5C1X10C1 – 
5=135
