1. The number of ways of dividing n identical objects among r persons, such that each gets 1,2,3, ... objects,
is the coefficient of `x^(n-r)` in the expansion of
`(1+ x+ x^2 + ......+ x^(k-1) )^r` .
2. The number of ways of dividing n identical objects among r person such that each one may get atmost
n objects , is ` ( (n+r -1 ) , ( r-1 ) )`
In other words, the total number of ways of dividing n
identical objects into r groups, if blank groups are
allowed , is `text()^(n+r -1)C_(r-1)`
3. The total number of ways of dividing n identical objects
among r persons and each one of them, receives atleast
one item , is `text()^(n-1)C_(r-1)`.
In other words, the number of ways in which n
identical things can be divided into r groups such that
blank groups are not allowed, is `text()^(n-1)C_(r-1)`.
4. The total number of selections of some or all out of
p + q + r items, where p are alike of one kind, q are
alike of second kind and rest are alike of third kind, is
`[(p + 1)-(q + 1) * (r + 1 ) -1 ]`.
