Question

In how many ways can four parrots be put in four cages, each meant for a particular parrot, such that none of the parrot goes in its own cage?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Change their cages with each other .

Answer 2

Answer:

12 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question,

The number of parrots = 4

The number of cages of the parrots = 4

As, each parrot is supposed to be in the cage other than their own.

Therefore, according to that we can see that there are total 3 possibilities that each parrot is having.

So,

The total number of ways in which the each parrot is supposed to be in the cage other than their own is = 4 x 3 = 12 ways

i.e. Number of possibilities of each parrot x Number of Parrots = Total number of ways.

Hence, the correct answer is 12 ways.
