Kudos for correct solution.

Now we have to write 5 sentence from 10 vocabulary words and each sentence must have two words

Therefore we can use the combination i.e 10C2 * 8C2 * 6C2 * 4C2 * 2C2 (5 sentences we have write and no words can be repeated)

=$$\frac{(10*9)}{2} *\frac{(8*7)}{2} * \frac{(6*5)}{2} * \frac{(4*3)}{2} *\frac{(2*1)}{2}$$

=$$\frac{10!}{32}$$
