Question

The number of ways in which 52 cards can be divided into 4 sets, three of them having 17 cards each and the fourth one having just one card

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of ways of dividing 52 cards equally among 4 players = 52! / (13!)4

Numbers of ways to form 4 groups of 13 cards each = 52! / (13!)4 x 4!

Number of ways to form 4 sets, three of them having 17

Cards each and fourth just 1 card = 52! / (17!)3 x 3! X 1!
