Thanks for your reply Karishma , but still , I don't understand why can't we consider "Ah Bh" as a team , 2 males or 2 femals
the question didn't say that the team must be a husband and a wife ,it only sais that we can't but a husband and his wife together , right ?

It is a mixed doubles match - so men's double or women's double would not be allowed. That is, mixed doubles has one man and one woman in each team.
It is a part of general awareness though I guess in an official question, they will specify that mixed doubles means each team consists of one man and one woman.

I couldn't find a single good explanation for this question. So here is my approach:
First of all, the question is very poorly worded... there can be infinite matches as 2 teams can play infinite times together. But considering that's not the case.
Married couples = MF MF MF MF
ab cd ef gh
Possible teams = ad cb eb gb
af cf ed gd
ah ch eh gf
Now, team ad can play only with: cb, cg, ch, eb, eh, gb, gf, i.e. 7
The same will apply to all teams.
So no. of total match = 12 × 7 = 84
Since every match includes 2 teams,
so the No. of matches = 84/2 = 42
