Question

there are 73 roses which are to be distributed among 17 girls such that each of the girls may get atleast 3 roses . in how many ways this can be done
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

73/3=23 (approximate)

So if you think of distributing 3 roses to each girl then 23 girl can get roses from total 73 roses.

But here only 17 girls are there. Let's find out how many roses are extra. That can be done by-

23-17=6

So, 6 roses are extra.

First distribute 3 roses to each girl. 6 roses will be extra. Distribute 6 roses to any 6 girls. These 6 girls will have 4 roses in total. But it doesn't matter as the question says that each girl should have AT LEAST 3 roses. And it's not told that each girl should have equal number of roses.

Done!
