The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of distributing 10 different books among 4 students (S1, S2, S3, and S4) such that S1 and S2 each receive 2 books, while S3 and S4 each receive 3 books, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Choose Books for S1**: - We need to select 2 books from the 10 available books for student S1. The number of ways to do this is given by the combination formula \( \binom{n}{r} \), where \( n \) is the total number of items to choose from, and \( r \) is the number of items to choose. - Thus, the number of ways to choose 2 books for S1 is: \[ \binom{10}{2} \] 2. **Choose Books for S2**: - After S1 has received 2 books, there are now 8 books left. We need to choose 2 books for student S2 from these remaining 8 books. - The number of ways to choose 2 books for S2 is: \[ \binom{8}{2} \] 3. **Choose Books for S3**: - After distributing books to S1 and S2, there are now 6 books left. We need to choose 3 books for student S3 from these 6 books. - The number of ways to choose 3 books for S3 is: \[ \binom{6}{3} \] 4. **Assign Remaining Books to S4**: - Finally, S4 will receive the remaining books. Since S4 is to receive 3 books and there are exactly 3 books left, there is only one way to assign these books to S4: \[ \binom{3}{3} = 1 \] 5. **Calculate Total Ways**: - Now, we multiply the number of ways to distribute the books to each student: \[ \text{Total Ways} = \binom{10}{2} \times \binom{8}{2} \times \binom{6}{3} \times \binom{3}{3} \] 6. **Substitute Values**: - Calculate each combination: \[ \binom{10}{2} = \frac{10!}{2!(10-2)!} = \frac{10 \times 9}{2 \times 1} = 45 \] \[ \binom{8}{2} = \frac{8!}{2!(8-2)!} = \frac{8 \times 7}{2 \times 1} = 28 \] \[ \binom{6}{3} = \frac{6!}{3!(6-3)!} = \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 20 \] \[ \binom{3}{3} = 1 \] 7. **Final Calculation**: - Now, we can calculate the total number of ways: \[ \text{Total Ways} = 45 \times 28 \times 20 \times 1 \] \[ = 45 \times 28 \times 20 = 25200 \] ### Final Answer: The total number of ways to distribute the 10 different books among the 4 students is **25200**.
