The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Statement 1 We need to distribute 10 identical balls into 4 distinct boxes such that no box is empty. 1. **Identifying the Problem**: Since no box can be empty, we first place 1 ball in each of the 4 boxes. This ensures that all boxes have at least one ball. 2. **Calculating Remaining Balls**: After placing 1 ball in each box, we have used 4 balls. Therefore, the number of balls left to distribute is: \[ 10 - 4 = 6 \text{ balls} \] 3. **Using the Stars and Bars Theorem**: Now, we need to distribute these 6 identical balls into 4 distinct boxes. The problem can be transformed into finding the number of non-negative integer solutions to the equation: \[ x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 = 6 \] where \(x_i\) represents the number of additional balls in box \(i\). 4. **Applying the Formula**: According to the Stars and Bars theorem, the number of ways to distribute \(n\) identical items into \(r\) distinct groups is given by: \[ \binom{n + r - 1}{r - 1} \] Here, \(n = 6\) (remaining balls) and \(r = 4\) (boxes). Thus, we have: \[ \text{Number of ways} = \binom{6 + 4 - 1}{4 - 1} = \binom{9}{3} \] ### Conclusion for Statement 1: The number of ways of distributing 10 identical balls in 4 distinct boxes such that no box is empty is indeed \(\binom{9}{3}\). ### Step 2: Understanding Statement 2 We need to find the number of ways to choose any 3 places from 9 different places. 1. **Identifying the Problem**: This is a straightforward combination problem where we are selecting 3 places out of 9. 2. **Using the Combination Formula**: The number of ways to choose \(r\) items from \(n\) items is given by: \[ \binom{n}{r} \] In our case, \(n = 9\) and \(r = 3\). Therefore, the number of ways is: \[ \binom{9}{3} \] ### Conclusion for Statement 2: The number of ways of choosing any 3 places from 9 different places is also \(\binom{9}{3}\). ### Final Conclusion: Both statements are true: - Statement 1 is true as it correctly applies the Stars and Bars theorem. - Statement 2 is true as it correctly uses the combination formula.

To solve the given problem, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Statement 1 We need to distribute 10 identical balls into 4 distinct boxes such that no box is empty. 1. **Identifying the Problem**: Since no box can be empty, we first place 1 ball in each of the 4 boxes.
