  1. Firstly, where the distribution will be (3,1,1) that is, one box gets three balls and the remaining two boxes get one ball each.
    • No. of ways to choose the box which gets 3 balls = 3 (since, 3 boxes are there).
    • No. of ways to select 3 balls out of 5 is = 5C3.
    • No. of ways to distribute rest of the balls =2.
    • Total no. of ways =60

2. Secondly, where the distribution will be (1,2,2) that is, one box gets one ball and the remaining two boxes get two balls each.

  • No. of ways to select 1 balls out of 5 is = 5C1.
  • No. of ways to choose the box which gets 1 balls = 3 (since, 3 boxes are there).
  • No. of ways to select 2 balls out of remaining 4 to go in second box is = 4C2.
  • Total no. of ways = 90

Total:60+90=150.

 

similarily you can do the rest parts.

in case f any difficulty please feel free to ask
