6C3 possibilities without repetition = 20
with the letter e and two other letters will be 5C2 = 10
with the letter e and two other letters will be 5C2 = 10

Let H* be {a, b, c, d, f} and H = H* unite {e}. Then the problem turns into if how many two element subsets H* has got, - and |H*| = 5 - which happens to be C (5, 2) = 10.
