Consider three boxes, each containing 1010 balls labelled 1,2,….,101, 2, \ldots . , 10. Suppose one ball is randomly drawn from each of the boxes. Denote by ni{n}_{i}, the label of the ball drawn from the ith{i}^{th} box, \left(i = 1, 2, 3\right).Then,thenumberofwaysinwhichtheballscanbechosensuchthat. Then, the number of ways in which the balls can be chosen such that{n}_{1} < {n}_{2} < {n}_{3} is :

Options

  1. A240240
  2. B8282
  3. C120120
  4. D164164

Correct answer

C. 120120

Step-by-step solution

Each box contains 1010 balls numbered from 11 to 1010.

n1,n2,n3{n}_{1}, {n}_{2}, {n}_{3} are numbers on the balls drawn from the box B1,B2{B}_{1}, {B}_{2} and B3{B}_{3} respectively such that n1<n2<n3{n}_{1} < {n}_{2} < {n}_{3}.

i.e., all 33 numbers n1,n2,n3{n}_{1}, {n}_{2}, {n}_{3} must be different and can be arranged only in one way (increasing).

Now n1,n2,n3{n}_{1}, {n}_{2}, {n}_{3} can be selected in 10C310{C}_{3} ways.

Hence, total number of ways =10C3.1=10C3=(10!)(3!)(7!)=10×9×83×2=120{=}^{10}{C}_{3} . 1{=}^{10}{C}_{3} = \dfrac{\left(10 !\right)}{\left(3 !\right)\left(7 !\right)} = \dfrac{10 \times 9 \times 8}{3 \times 2} = 120.
