In how many ways te sum of upper faces of four distinct dices can be six.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, the number of required will be equal to the number of solutions of `x_(1)+x_(2)+x_(3)+x_(4)=5` i.e., `1 le x_(i) le 6` for i=1,2,3,4.
Since, upper limit is 6, which is greater than required sum, so upper limit taken as infinite. So , number of sols is equal to coefficient of `alpha^(5)` in the expansion of
`(1+alpha+alpha^(2)+ . .+oo)^(4)`
=Coefficient of `alpha^(5)` in the exapansion of `(1-alpha)^(-4)`
=coefficient of `alpha^(5)` in the expansion of
`(1+.^(4)C_(1)alpha+.^(5)C_(2)alpha^(2)+ . .)`
`=.^(8)C_(5)=.^(8)C_(3)=(8*7*6)/(1*2*3)=56`
