Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: So let's assume that in any arrangement we are not able to distinguish the balls having the same colour, so only different orders of the colours involved are counted.
If we number these balls we have 12 different numbers, 3 of which belong to the white balls, 4 belong to the blue balls and the final 5 belong to the red balls. They could be arranged in 12! different ways. Pick any of these arrangements.
The white balls in this arrangement are now ordered because I gave these balls a number. But I specifically stated in the first alinea that we were not interested in all these possible orders of the white balls within a sequence of 12 balls. So we must correct for these orders, there are 3! of these, each one leading to exactly the same visual order of white balls. The other colours lead to a correction of 4! and 5!. Moreover, these corrections are independent of each other. I can change the position of the white balls without interrupting the order of the colours of the remaining balls. So we should divide by the product of 3!,4! and 5!.
