Question

There are four parcels and five pos offices. In how many different ways can tl parcels be sent by registered post ?

Answer 1

Total number of parcels = 4 Total number of post-offices = 5 Since a parcel can be sent to any one of the five post offices. So, the required number of ways = $5\times 5\times 5\times 5=5^4=625$ Hence, total number of ways is 625.
