A person has three different bags and four different books. The number of ways, in which he can put these books in the bags so that no bag is empty, is :

  1. 18
  2. 36
  3. 39
  4. 72

Answer

Solution

Each of the 4 different books can go into any of the 3 bags: 34=81 ways

Ways with a particular bag empty: 24; with two particular bags empty: 14

By inclusion–exclusion, ways with no bag empty =34-3C1 24+3C2 14=81-48+3=36
