The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of distributing 22 different books to 5 students such that two students receive 5 books each and the remaining three students receive 4 books each, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the distribution of books We have: - 2 students (let's say A and B) who will receive 5 books each. - 3 students (let's say C, D, and E) who will receive 4 books each. ### Step 2: Calculate the total number of books distributed The total number of books distributed is: - For students A and B: \(5 + 5 = 10\) - For students C, D, and E: \(4 + 4 + 4 = 12\) Thus, the total number of books is \(10 + 12 = 22\), which matches the total number of books we have. ### Step 3: Choose the students who will receive 5 books We need to choose 2 students from the 5 to receive 5 books each. The number of ways to choose 2 students from 5 is given by the combination formula: \[ \binom{5}{2} = \frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!} = \frac{5 \times 4}{2 \times 1} = 10 \] ### Step 4: Distribute the books to the chosen students Next, we need to distribute the books: - Choose 5 books for student A from 22 books: This can be done in \(\binom{22}{5}\) ways. - Choose 5 books for student B from the remaining 17 books: This can be done in \(\binom{17}{5}\) ways. - The remaining 12 books will be distributed among students C, D, and E, with each receiving 4 books. ### Step 5: Distribute the remaining books Now we need to distribute the remaining 12 books: - Choose 4 books for student C from 12 books: This can be done in \(\binom{12}{4}\) ways. - Choose 4 books for student D from the remaining 8 books: This can be done in \(\binom{8}{4}\) ways. - The last 4 books automatically go to student E. ### Step 6: Calculate the total arrangements Now, we need to consider the arrangements of the students who received the books. Since A and B are indistinguishable in terms of receiving 5 books, we will divide by \(2!\) (for A and B). Similarly, since C, D, and E are indistinguishable in terms of receiving 4 books each, we will divide by \(3!\). ### Step 7: Combine all the calculations Putting it all together, the total number of ways to distribute the books is: \[ \text{Total ways} = \binom{5}{2} \times \binom{22}{5} \times \binom{17}{5} \times \binom{12}{4} \times \binom{8}{4} \times \frac{1}{2!} \times \frac{1}{3!} \] ### Step 8: Simplify the expression Now we can simplify the expression to find the final answer. ### Final Calculation 1. Calculate each binomial coefficient: - \(\binom{5}{2} = 10\) - \(\binom{22}{5} = \frac{22!}{5!(22-5)!}\) - \(\binom{17}{5} = \frac{17!}{5!(17-5)!}\) - \(\binom{12}{4} = \frac{12!}{4!(12-4)!}\) - \(\binom{8}{4} = \frac{8!}{4!(8-4)!}\) 2. Combine the results: \[ \text{Total ways} = 10 \times \binom{22}{5} \times \binom{17}{5} \times \binom{12}{4} \times \binom{8}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{6} \] ### Final Answer The final answer will be a numerical value obtained from the above calculations. ---
