Question

In how many different ways can 3 identical green shirts and 3 identical red shirts be distributed among 6 children such that each child receives a shirt

Answer 1

Total number of ways will be 20

Explanation:

We have given three identical green shirts and three identical red shirts

So total number of shirts = 3+3 = 5

We have to distribute these shirts to 6 children so that each children got one shirt

Number of ways will be equal to
`=(6!)/(3!3!)=20` ( Here we divide by 3!3! because three green shirts and 3 red shirts are identical )
