Question
Five balls of different colours are to be placed in three boxes of different sizes. Each box can hold all five balls. The number of ways in which we can place the balls in the boxes ( order is not considered in the box) so that no box remains empty is
- 150
- 300
- 200
- none of these
The correct answer is: 150
One possible arrangement is
Three such arrangements are possible. Therefore, the number of ways is ( 5C2) ( 3C2) ( 1C1) (3) = 90
The other possible arrangements
Three such arrangements are possible. In this case, the number of ways is ( 5C1) ( 4C1) ( 3C3) (3) = 60
Hence, the total number of ways is 90 + 60 = 150.
Hence (a) is the correct answer.
