If 7 different balls are distributed among 4 different boxes, then the probability that the first box contains 3 balls is
Options
- A35 128 ( 3 4 )^3
- B35 64 ( 3 4 )^4
- C7 8 ( 3 4 )^7
- D5 16 ( 3 4 )^5
Correct answer
B. 35 64 ( 3 4 )^4
Step-by-step solution
Since, total number of ways of distributing of 7 balls in 4 box =4^7 Total number of ways such that first box contain 3 balls = ^7 C₃ 3^4 So, required probability = ^7 C₃ 3^4 4^7 = 35 64 ( 3 4 )^4 .
