Number of marriage arrangements if Hall’s condition satisfied

52 Views Asked by At

Show that if a set of $n$ boys satisfies Hall’s marriage condition and each individual boy knows at least $t>n$ girls then the number of possible marriage arrangements between boys and girls is greater than or equal to $t!/(t-n)!$ or if each individual boy knows at least $t\leqslant n$ girls then the number of possible marriage arrangements is greater than or equal to $t!$

The question suggests proof by induction on $n$.
