Question
CBSEENMA12036034

If 12 identical balls are to be placed in 3 identical boxes, then the probability that  one of the boxes contains exactly 3 balls, is

  • 55 over 33 open parentheses 2 over 3 close parentheses to the power of 11
  • 55 space open parentheses 2 over 3 close parentheses to the power of 10
  • 220 space open parentheses 1 third close parentheses to the power of 12
  • 22 space open parentheses 1 third close parentheses to the power of 11

Solution

A.

55 over 33 open parentheses 2 over 3 close parentheses to the power of 11

There seems to be ambiguity in this question. It should be mentioned that boxes are different and one particular box has 3 balls.
Then, number of ways = fraction numerator straight C presuperscript 12 subscript 3 space straight x space 2 to the power of 9 over denominator 3 to the power of 12 end fraction
space equals space 55 over 3 space open parentheses 2 over 3 close parentheses to the power of 11
