Ways of selecting from the total = 9C1 * 6C1 =54
Ways if selecting not compatible product = 3C1 * 2C1 =6

Therefore Ways of selecting compatible products =54 - 6 =48

If you are in time crunch then we know that there are 54 total ways and there is just one option which is less than 54. So that has to be the answer.
