Re: Permutaions and combinations
Hi Aishwarya,

Re: Permutaions and combinations
Hi ,
You have taken x + y + z = 10. The total is not ten. The number of animals of each kind not being less than 10. So we need to assume that there are 10 animals of each kind.

Re: Permutaions and combinations
Hi,
It's the equation for animals in the ship!
E.g (x,y,z) = (10,0,0) or (1,8,1) or (0,2,8) so on.
It'll be 66 such ways possible.
