If 10 different balls are to be placed in 4 distinct boxes at random, then the probability that two of these boxes contain exactly 2 and 3 balls is:
  1. 965211
  2. 965210
  3. 945210
  4. 945211

Solution

Total number of ways in which 10 balls can be placed in 4 boxes =4×4×4×4×4×4×4×4×4×4

410

220

 Exactly two box contain 2,3 balls
