To form a committee of 2 teachers from 5, we use the combination formula ( \binom{n}{r} ), where ( n ) is the total number and ( r ) is the number chosen. The number of ways to choose 2 teachers from 5 is ( \binom{5}{2} = 10 ). For the 4 students from 10, the number of ways is ( \binom{10}{4} = 210 ). Therefore, the total number of different committees is ( 10 \times 210 = 2100 ).
