PROBLEM 1 A 125-page document is being printed by five printers. Each page will be printed exactly once. (a) Suppose that there are no restrictions on how many pages a printer can print. How many ways are there for the 125 pages to be assigned to the five printers? One possible combination: printer A prints out pages 2-50, printer B prints out pages 1 and 51-60, printer

Respuesta :

The number of ways there for the 125 pages to be assigned to the four printers = 5^125 ways.

As per the question,

A 125-page document is being printed by four printers.

Each page will be printed exactly once.

There are no restrictions on how many pages a printer can print.

One of the possible combinations is that printer A prints out pages 2-50, printer B prints out pages 1 and 51-60, printer C prints out 61-80 and 86-90 and printer D prints out pages 81-85 and 91-100.

Since, there are no restrictions in printing the pages any printer cannot print even a single page and any printer can print all 125 pages. To print 100 pages we have four printers.

⇒ Number of possible ways a single paper can be assigned to the four printers = 4 ways

⇒ Number of possible ways 125 pages can be assigned to the four printers

=  5 × 5 × 5 × 5 .................... 5 ( a total of 125 terms )

=     ways.

Therefore, In   ways we can assign 125 pages to four printers with no restrictions.
