Divide

How many different ways can three people divide 7 pears and 5 apples?

Correct result:

x =  756

Solution:

C2(9)=(92)=9!2!(9−2)!=9⋅82⋅1=36 n1=7 n2=5 k=3−1=2  C2(7)=(72)=7!2!(7−2)!=7⋅62⋅1=21  x1=(n1+kk)=(7+22)=36 x2=(n2+kk)=(5+22)=21  x=x1⋅ x2=36⋅ 21=756

I think that you mixed up n and k. My understanding is that : n = 3, k1 = 7, k2 = 5
