We have 9 distinct items and 3 persons. A to get 2 items, b to get 3 items and c to get 4 items. We choose 2 items for a first. This can be done in C(c d) different ways. Find c and d
To find c and d, we need to calculate C(c, d) which represents the number of ways to choose d items out of c total items.
Given that A gets 2 items, there are 9 items to choose from and A gets 2, so c = 9 and d = 2.
Therefore, C(9, 2) = 9! / (2!(9-2)!) = 36 ways to choose 2 items for A.
So, c = 9 and d = 2.
