If a, b, c, d and e are five natural numbers, then find the number of ordered sets(a, b, c, d, e) possible such that a+b+c+d+e=75.(a) ^65C5(b) ^58C6(c) ^72C7(d) ^74C4The question was posed to me in final exam.My enquiry is from Counting topic in chapter Counting of Discrete Mathematics

Answer» CORRECT option is (d) ^74C4

For EXPLANATION: LET assumes that there are 75 identical balls which are to be arranged in 5 different compartments (Since a, b, c, d, e are distinguishable). If the balls are arranged in the row. We have 74 GAPS where we can place a BALL in each gap since we need 5 compartments we need to place only 4 balls. We can do this in ^74C4 ways.
