In how many ways can 5 different toys be packed in 3 identical boxes such that no box is empty, if any of the boxes may hold all of the toys?

(3,1,1) toys=> 5C3 = 10 ways

(2,2,1) toys => (5C2*3C2)/2 = 15 ways

Total = 25?

3^5 - 3(2^5 - 2) - 3
243 - 3 - 3(30)
150 ?
EDIT : sry identical he na boxes..this is for different boxes
@pankaj1988 bhai 180?? :P

Since the boxes are identical, only the groupings matter

Case 1: ( 3,1,1) => 5!/(3!1!1!2!) = 10
Case 2: (2,2,1) => 5!/(2!2!1!2!) = 15

Total = 25 ways ?

find the sum of squares and cubes of the root of eqaution x^3-2x^2+x-3?
a+b+c=2
ab+bc+ac=1
abc=3

( a+b+c)^2=a^2+b^2+c^2+2
=>a^2+b^2+c^2=4-2=2

( a+b+c)^3=a^3+b^3+c^3+3a(ab+bc+ac)+3b(ab+bc+ac)+3c(ab+bc+ac)-3abc
=>8=a^3+b^3+c^+6-9
=>a^3+b^3+c^=11

so 2+11=13

5c3+5c2*3c2/2=10+15=25
Let a,b and c be the roots
Here a+b+c = 2
ab+bc+ca = 1
abc = 3

(a+b+c)² = a²+b²+c² + 2(ab+bc+ca)
=> a²+b²+c² = (a+b+c)² - 2(ab+bc+ca) = 4 - 2 = 2

a³ + b³ + c³ = 3abc + (a+b+c)(a²+b²+c²-(ab+bc+ca))
= 3(3) + (2)(2-1)
= 11

no arrangement only selection

3 1 1 = 5C3*2C1/2 = 10
2 2 1 = 5C2*3C2/2 = 15

total = 25

(a3+b3+c3+2(ab+bc+ca)-3abc=4
a3+b3+c3=4+3*3-2=11

My take 25
3 1 1 5C3 = 10
2 2 1 5C2*3C2/2 = 15
25

@krum bhai cat ka result ate hi mujhe toh party nazar aa rahi hai :P

Please explain your solution, I'm not getting. :/
There are 6 boxes numbered 1, 2,...6. Each box is to be filled up either with a red or a green ball in such a way that at least 1 box contains a green ball and the boxes containing green balls are consecutively numbered. The total number of ways in which this can be done is ____

(1) 5
(2) 21
(3) 33
(4) 60
(5) 27

If only one of the boxes has a green ball, it can be any of the 6 boxes. So, this can be achieved in 6 ways.

If two of the boxes have green balls and then there are 5 consecutive sets of 2 boxes. 12, 23, 34, 45, 56.

Similarly, if 3 of the boxes have green balls, there will be 4 options.

If 4 boxes have green balls, there will be 3 options.

If 5 boxes have green balls, then there will be 2 options.

If all 6 boxes have green balls, then there will be just 1 options.

Total number of options = 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 21.
