Consider three boxes, each containing10balls labelled1, 2, ., 10. Suppose one ball is randomly drawn from each of the boxes. Denote byni, the label of the ball drawn from theithbox,i=1, 2, 3. Then, the number of ways in which the balls can be chosen such thatn1<n2<n3is :

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Each box contains 10 balls numbered from 1 to 10.

n1,n2,n3 are numbers on the balls drawn from the box B1,B2 and B3 respectively such that n1<n2<n3.

i.e., all 3 numbers n1,n2,n3 must be different and can be arranged only in one way (increasing).

Now n1,n2,n3 can be selected in 10C3 ways.

Hence, total number of ways =10C3.1=10C3=10!3!7!=10×9×83×2=120.
