In how many ways can 12 people be divided into 3 groups where 4 persons must be there in each group?

A
$\text{None of these}$
B
$\frac{12!}{(4!)^3}$
C
$\text{Insufficient data}$
D
$\frac{12!}{3!\times(4!)^3}$

Answer

$\frac{12!}{3!\times(4!)^3}$

Solution:

Number of ways in which

$\text{m}\times\text{n"}>$

$\text{m}\times\text{n}$ distinct things can be divided equally into n

$\text{n"}>$ groups

$=\frac{(\text{mn})!}{\text{n}!\times(\text{m}!)\text{n}}$

Given, $12(3\times4)$ people needs to be divided into 3 groups where 4 persons must be there in each group.

So, the required number of ways $=\frac{({12})!}{{3}!\times(4!)\text{n}}$
