Answer»

Correct choice is (a) 133496

The BEST explanation: By the derangements formula, the NUMBER of possible derangements should be 9!(\(\frac{1}{0!} – \frac{1}{1!} + … – \frac{1}{9!}\)) = 133496. Hence, there are a total of ways to GIVE the gifts to him such that no one distributes the real gifts.
