Dear siva,

we use multimonial theorom in permutation and combination in two cases

1) when we have to find number of ways of dividing n identical items among r persons then we will find the coefficient

of xr in the expansion of (1+x +x+x3 ........ xn)r

 2)when there are m items of one kind and n items of other and so on then number of ways of choosing r items out of these items is

    coefficient of x in the expansion   (1+x +x2 ........................xn)(1+x +x........................xm)   and so on
