Therefore, this issue can be boiled down to "identifying ways to mark 2 people out of 9 people on a specific task."
Total ways to do that: Choose any 2 people from the 9 and assign them to A
But there is only 1 way you and your friend are assigned to A.
So, the probability that you and your best friend will be the two assigned to task A=19,C2=136
