The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of distributing 5 different objects among 3 persons such that no two persons receive the same number of objects, we can break it down into cases based on how many objects each person receives. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Distribution Cases**: Since we have 3 persons and they cannot receive the same number of objects, the only possible distributions of 5 objects among 3 persons are: - Case 1: One person gets 4 objects, another gets 1 object, and the last gets 0 objects (4, 1, 0). - Case 2: One person gets 3 objects, another gets 2 objects, and the last gets 0 objects (3, 2, 0). 2. **Calculate for Case 1 (4, 1, 0)**: - Choose 4 objects out of 5 to give to the first person. The number of ways to choose 4 objects from 5 is given by \( \binom{5}{4} \). - The remaining object will go to the second person. There is only 1 way to choose 1 object from 1, which is \( \binom{1}{1} \). - The third person gets 0 objects, which is a fixed case. - We also need to consider the arrangement of the persons. Since there are 3 persons, they can be arranged in \( 3! \) ways. Therefore, the total for Case 1 is: \[ \text{Total for Case 1} = \binom{5}{4} \times \binom{1}{1} \times 3! = 5 \times 1 \times 6 = 30 \] 3. **Calculate for Case 2 (3, 2, 0)**: - Choose 3 objects out of 5 to give to the first person. The number of ways to choose 3 objects from 5 is \( \binom{5}{3} \). - Choose 2 objects from the remaining 2 for the second person, which is \( \binom{2}{2} \). - The third person gets 0 objects. - Again, the arrangement of the persons is \( 3! \). Therefore, the total for Case 2 is: \[ \text{Total for Case 2} = \binom{5}{3} \times \binom{2}{2} \times 3! = 10 \times 1 \times 6 = 60 \] 4. **Combine the Results**: Now, we add the totals from both cases to get the final answer: \[ \text{Total Ways} = \text{Total for Case 1} + \text{Total for Case 2} = 30 + 60 = 90 \] Thus, the total number of ways to distribute 5 different objects among 3 persons such that no two persons receive the same number of objects is **90**.
