Combination: Card Problems How many eight-card hands can be chosen from exactly 2 suits/13-card bridge hands contain six cards one suit and four and three cards of another suits

  1. How many eight-card hands can be chosen from exactly 2$2$ suits of an ordinary 52$52$-card deck? (there are 4$4$ suits clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades

I think since there are 26$26$ cards in 2$2$ suits and eight cards from those 26 $26$ (order does not matter), thus $C(26,8)/C(52,26)$$\displaystyle\frac{\binom{26}{8}}{\binom{52}{26}}$ ?

  1. How many 13$13$-card bridge hands can be chosen from an ordinary 52$52$-card deck that contain six cards of one suit and four and three cards of another two suits? (there are 4$4$ suits clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades

I do not understand 2nd$2$nd problem.
