6.Permutation and Combination
medium
The number of ways in which five identical balls can be distributed among ten identical boxes such that no box contains more than one ball, is
A
$10 !$
B
$\frac{{10\,!}}{{5\,!}}$
C
$\frac{{10\,!}}{{{{(5\,!)}^2}}}$
D
None of these
(IIT-1973)
Solution
(c) Out of $10$ boxes we have to choose only $5$ boxes because the balls are identical and the boxes are also identical (but they can occupy different places), the required number of ways ${ = ^{10}}{C_5} = \frac{{10\;!}}{{{{(5\;!)}^2}}}$.
