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 ${ = ^{10}}{C_5} = \frac{{10\;!}}{{{{(5\;!)}^2}}}$.
