If it must be the same number of men and women, it should be 3 men and 3 women in the department.

So we can choose 3 men out of 10 in C103=10!3!7!=120C^3_{10}=\frac{10!}{3!7!}=120 ways.

We can choose 3 women out of 15 women in C153=15!12!3!=455C^3_{15}=\frac{15!}{12!3!}=455 ways.

So we can form the department in 120x455=54600 ways.
