The number of ways of dividing cards amongst four players so that three players have cards each and the fourth player just one card, is?
Apply permutations and combinations to find the required number of ways
The first player can be dealt cards out of the deck of cards in ways.
The second player can be dealt cards out of the remaining cards in ways.
The third player can be dealt cards out of the remaining cards in ways.
There is only one way of getting the last player one card.
Hence, the required number of ways ….( is included as none of those sets are distinct)
Hence, option is the correct answer.
