How many ways can we put 2n white and n black balls into 3n different cells?

59 Views Asked by At

There are 3n different cells, 2n white balls, and n black balls.

Each cell cannot be empty and must contain exactly one ball. How many ways can we put those balls into those cells?

My solution is:

Let's start with putting all the 2n white balls in the cells $\binom{3n}{n}$.

than I have n cells and n black balls $\binom{n}{n}$.

we get: $\binom{3n}{n}$ * $\binom{n}{n}$.

Is this correct?
