Example 15 In how many ways can 4 red, 3 yellow and 2 green discs be arranged in a row if the discs of the same colour are indistinguishable ? Total number of discs = 4 red + 3yellow + 2 green n = 9. Since color are repeating so we use this formula 𝑛!/𝑝1!𝑝2!𝑝3! Here n = 9 Out of 9 discs, 4 red, 3 yellow and 2 green & p1 = 4, p2 = 3, p3 = 2 The number of arrangement = 𝑛!/𝑝1!𝑝2!𝑝3! = 9!/(4! 3! 2!) = (9 Γ— 8 Γ— 7 Γ— 6 Γ— 5 Γ— 4!)/(4! Γ— (3 Γ— 2 Γ— 1)(2 Γ— 1)) = (9 Γ— 8 Γ— 7 Γ— 6 Γ— 5)/(3 Γ— 2 Γ— 2) = 1260. Hence, total number of arrangements is 1260
