Question

There are m men and n monkeys (n > m). If a man have any number of monkeys. In how many ways may every monkey have a master?

Answer 1

Answer:

$m^n$ ways.

Step by step explanation:

The first monkey can select his master by 'm' ways. After that, the second monkey can select his master also by 'm' ways. The third monkey can also do the same, and so on till the nth monkey.

Hence, the number of ways 'n' monkeys can select their masters is:

m*m*m.... up to n times = $m^n$ ways.
