Answer:
961
Explanation:
5 apples and 6 pears are to be distributed among 3 different people.
the number of ways the fruits could be distributed without restrictions is 3^ 11 = 177147
If each person gets at least one pear,first calculate the number of ways 6 pears could be distributed among 3 people
= 3^6 - 3
= 729 -3 = 726
Secondly calculate the number of ways 5 apples could be distributed among 3 people
3^5 = 243
Total = 726 + 243
= 961 ways
