Number of ways to pick an equal number of elements from two sets?

There are two groups such that one group contains $m$ elements and another group contains $n$ elements. We have to find number of ways to pick same number of elements from both the groups.




My approach is
$1+dbinom m1.dbinom n1+dbinom m2 . dbinom n2 +.... $upto $dbinom mm$ or $dbinom nn$ whatever is smaller.

Is there any faster way to do the same?



Example:
$3$ and $2$
$1+dbinom 31.dbinom 21+dbinom 32 . dbinom 22=10$ ways
