i am also struggling to understand the meaning of sentence
"arranged in
a row if the discs of the same colour are indistinguishable"
geerky42 (geerky42):
This means you can't tell the difference between two discs of same color, so saying we have #1 green disc and #2 green disc.
1 2 in order is same as 2 1. As in there is only one way to arrange #1 and #2 disc.
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
ok i see the key meaning
OpenStudy (irishboy123):
4 red, 3 yellow and 2 green
that's \(\large \frac{9!}{4! \ 3! \ 2!} \)
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
that equals 1260
