If 12 indentical balls are to placed in 3 indntical boxes, then the probability that one of the boxes contains exactly 3 balls is

A

`(55)/(3)((2)/(3))^(11)`

B

`55((2)/(3))^(10)`

C

`220((1)/(3))^(12)`

D

`22((1)/(3))^(11)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
We have mentioned that boxes are different and one particular box has 3 balls
Then, numher of ways `=(""^(12)C_3xx2^9)/(3^(12))=(55)/(3)((2)/3)^(11)`
